Prioritize, Priory

Prioritize, priory.
Thy job to house the priest.
Recognize, rail, recently.
Beast, prepare the feast...

End. Everything has one?
Well, maybe. Who's to say?
Bullet magic, jumped from gun?
Hound, astound and bay.

Flickering the frosty fog?
Winter, on the road?
Lost, O traveler? Deep that bog!
Fade, fail, fiery, flowed!

Core, thy strength. Languor, thy length.
Grimace as you grip.
Water, weather, wit, wavelength.
Quahog, how you quip.

Sparingly? Cheap. Mountain, steep?
Clear me at one leap.
Rubbish bin, heap of sleep keep?
Boneyard, creep thy seep!

Golem, goals. Dead men, thy shoals.
Sandbar, ships. Done in?
Glowing from thy heat, O coals?
Eyeballs, pine to pin!

Sacrosanct, sound? Talking, trees?
Soul, ears to the breeze?
Satisfied, O deepest freeze?
No use saying please?

Treason, hast thou reason?
Panic, candlestick?
Silver, seen thy best season?
Chewed down to the wick...
