Epistle To The 23rd Century Water Bearers

Ice caps of the northern world
Dew drops of the sovereign world 
From North to South shall bear in pair
Holding a cistern in open air

Air ruffles in belts and swear 
Fair and in pair that never wear

Storks and beasts circling around
Forks and yeasts bubbling in sound

Meat that thaws in empty shells 
Peat that gnaws in cognoscenti wells

Wells of minds that hail on waters
Bells in binds that wail on lathers

Days of light that never end
Rays of night that never bend...
