Sphinx Litany
I have word to spend
Direct like coin
But wait that amend
Beyond the loin
That can respect with truth
The calm angel and the brute
I will not be tempted
So that peace exempted
From the blind ire
Can free aspire
To friendship's craze confusion
Until I understand, it's delusion:
A bird on flight through the dry moon
Mirrored in the sea like an old ruin.
