Cheeseboard Dusk
The Books of Heaven opened, the pages to their destinations flying!
Hambone frills, escutcheons, adornments of the dying
Letters overflow and singe the air, fleeting fireflies with faces.
Ardent affirmation of our mortal non-embraces
And, if it were but needed, confirmation of our holy creed
Shall dignify our distance from the advocates of such a deed
The angels meet the demons to discuss theological affairs
While underneath the arches four lone kippers steal their prayers
The winds howl the truth, far away
But why should we listen today?
dusk embraces the dark light
So why should be bother to fight?
Rain falls down without a sound
Build up high my burial mound
Aiming high yet sinking low
feeling to transfer into a PoW
A mound of cheese soon blocks our path
But we make our escape through the hearth
