A shortened quill with the attention
that spanned the will to carve
oranges with the pumpkins
still not appearing around
the steps of furrowed hath
Striped for the marmalade miles
to tea and matches to flick at
hatch daubed batton with rouge
all the sushi trays you consumed
Trailing around etched glass
with compass pointing towards
thrift store antiquated translation
Of a battle described during
a drought.
.
Piety of a old penny fire boat
that couldn’t pump
The coin Burning true
in the harbour of white horses.
