SONNET 124

Tho' it had just been words where you're from, visc'rally

Epitomic sanctuaries, crystal palace

A fragility of trust worth invisibly,

Worth'ly honored aggrandizing a diff'rent class

Such egos pelt slandering. No matter. Recall

Death, his lengths, his monsters' sleep, his ephemeral;

Not too much words but syllables broke the sonnet,

Like noontide's cross-sea into ringlets dispirit --

Serrations go. Day full of birth fuller instincts

Wash sincerer waves mere words fawning could never,

Just words (temp'rament), be opposed ethereal blinks

Unspoken... hearken yet this: face without quiver

Humiliations! if Marc Antony's be true, --

My Cleopatra, convened yours my last day, too.
