Whiteness born of a white coat foundling,
The terrified hare cruelly drowned upon the screen,
Thrice unborn of a lackland gloaming,
A song of skullduggery, soon forgot;
Vacant were the eyes that unsheathed the speculum,
Broken were the gods that sighed upon the plain;
A whiteness that bore a hole through all the world,
As merciless armies bled into the night,
Tottering were those undreamt of the fleeting hour –
With Sims presiding, thrice roared the Kraken flames;
Spread-eagled betwixt the Pill and Man,
The crucified mare laid low by the baron,
A naked sparrow left to die on wayward shores –
As the tides receded, a fading angel in the night.
