Blind, cometh man, he who

Hath sworn his due

In taverns unsighted by

Those waving their lovers

Good-by.

Tremble doth the lips of

Oath-bearers that love

Beyond what they can;

For loneliness, soft

Shall keep thee aloft

Until the next light thou

Withstand.

In dreams weary

Thy words flee

Through woods of

Extraordinary

Shapeless filigree,

Stained by blood in each

Cough.

This poem, milady,

Shall tell to thee

Tales rather of sorrow;

Of how thy dear he

Bareth his body

Into embracing the

Overmorrow.

Blinded, cometh man, he who

Drank in poisonous rendezvous

Of promises and Elpis—

Pity be for those

Who fail to devour the verbose

So let us hold our hands in

Peace.
