Puzzling
You had outlived
the dagger ?
flesh-eaters were turning back
I had burnt my palate
eating the sizzling words:
meaningless.
The evil will stay
as extended goodness.
I have no complaints.
Once upon a time
ravens were hungry.
Now they are competing with vultures.
This moonbeam was going home
into the marigold.
Sunflower was not in bloom.
