Your silken skin gleams opaline,
Bathed in Luna's soft wash of azure ...

distance, drive and demolition
battle axe ambition in the wild air
muscle and mind joined in steeled instinct, 
a stitched pigskin ball, the grail of the Fall

Marching out of the cloaked shires
Of landowners, stockbrokers, 
Hereditary Peers, and ruddy faced 
Squires:
A vast multitude of many varied

Behind nodding sighs and hushed 
Whispers, 
The Masonic...

So it finally tracked you down.
The sting, the rush, the nods all caught up
Added up
To three days alone with no resurrection.
