Shaken Baby

Oh the sham and serious shake,
  Earthen crust erases land.
Upset moon mourns its men.
Uplift of craven shore and ben.
  O the Winter its downer tanned.

Of creature great and downy lost,
  The surgeon’s fissure quite abrupt.
The baby’s tears from the bright sun -
Befallen stars say it is done.
   The crude ovalis corrupt.
