Silence attacking
from deep in the hall
Damage inflicted
the metronome stalled
Blood in the orchestra
harmony thrawn
Melody slaughtered
— rhapsody gone
(The New Room: May, 2024)
Wrapt in the otiose aumbry of pride
A glede hythe a quiff will gust aside
Her folly selcouth
Binds her fast to her wanweird
To speak ever sooth
She is thrawn, my sister, my coëval
Into fell Truth’s ghyll she will smiling fall
Morrow’s dawnsun, rise!
Drown in the throes of today!
Sky dragons, melt away!
Morrow’s dawnsun, drown!
Rise in grief’s eternal day!
Sky dragons, melt away!
