Circus Time
1-14-17

Striped with bonds
Taking the rods of green poplar
We thank God for the shelter from the elements
For oils of fat pork fried crisp
Such is now increased
Stripped with bands and with white stories
Circus time has been born again
Up on that tightrope yet ringstraked
And lost aggrandizement
On the tree of knowledge
It is now increased
We steal silently away
To feel the coming of a new day
Pillar and peeled white strakes
Of the hazel and chestnut....



Hull And Strake
1-14-17

Heavy metal compared to Milton
It's all poetry to me
Taking rods of green poplar
As Laban is accessed in such suffering
Striped with bands
It is now increased our flocks conceived
Before rods making for rigid dirigible
Covered in river mud
By the lowermost portion and boatlike fuselage
In jingle bell rot and rent of another reap season
Peeling strakes in rods separating the cattle
So He can do battle
And girders enclosing pulled and peeled
The savor in the reeled
Monsignor, do your thing.....
