Gold, Golem?
Soon, O toil? Take, tamarisk?
Athlete, hurl disc!
Flickering fog in fine-kept frisk!
Blessings in the brisk!
Amiable heaven, hell:
What to do about?
Blood congeal and ichor gel!
Set fire to the spout!
Yes, indeed. And human need?
We don't share their greed?
Apostate, dost thou still bleed?
Masses, doth ye feed?
Taken, look at twilight?
See lights as far away?
Shark and kraken, at the fight?
Squid colossal, stray?
Woe in state of torment?
Yes, and who to blame?
Queen of Carthage, thy lament!
Aryan King, the same!
Atoms, split! O judge, acquit!
Blind to what was bit?
Harpsichord cube, take that hit!
Cobra, will ye spit?
Halo on the harpy? Yes.
That is what we bless!
Bitterness and doubt! Duress;
Should we second-guess?
River made of tentacles;
What ore here doth lie?
Blossoming the brazen bulls!
Silver soar the sly!
Yellow flake in ancient creek;
What lends thy mystique?
Barbarian, learned thy Greek?
Turned, taciturn chic?
Toil, turmoil, trite, terror?
Miseries of the box?
Blame beset, O boiling burr?
Penury, thy phlox?
Thanks given to traveling tale?
Bill of slave, thy sale.
O salvation, ride the rail!
Haymaker, thy bale!
