Rolled Oats


"Rolled Oats" 

Age shall not weary
trolls counting strange fruit
golden apples rolled 

Lord Laden put to sleep 
on an alter Hippomenes
there Atalanta lights a candle

underneath the dry rot
Ovid’s oracle prophecy not far wrong
3 golden apples racing along

Hippomenes 
strange addiction was outshone
the race never to be won
