Melanie Noel
after John Keats

 

Sloth winter     blue lira                                  today more itself yesterday
 

Open and opener the sham          dung-colored wren          blameless wren
 

wren: knocking   on the house        ,fell behind                       earthquake
 

halo           Gold lowing room of first, and next      meridian            interrogative
 

the wire doves huddled in the rain of pods          camouflage of empty manes
