When Night Had Veiled My Foe

Like a great parodied indolent 
Such illusions of meaningless digressions 
Compliant with a game of chance 
Purred for the sun to pass 
And built a twilight barricade 
Till hunger drew slack 
Then like a flack of mottled light 
Round beneath it 
Time in hours
It moved the world..
