Flicker Fine

O boulder, with pitch resin shine! Flicker fine at night! Fate and Fortune, thus we dine! Sign, O line of sight! Ichor in immortal veins? Crenellate to hold. No use waiting for the rains! Sane and centrefold! Explain, O my spark-lit brain? Bone of throne and bane! Blossom inward! Core and chain! Melee, meet the main! Gone and unreturned? We learned. Oh, what we discerned. Night of nail and ne'er-do-churned! How the bodies burned... Yellow streaks in starry sky? Panels on the fade. Foxfire, foment on the fly! Beckon as ye bade! Climate of the covenant? Back the boneyard bright? Feet of clay, about me plant! Cant cerebral, kite! Mortal life, upon the knife? Who to target, strife? Circumstances, rhyme or rife? O Rhine River, fife!
