The dawn will not respond The bleak letters stand The reprieve lives only as theater And we are at hand In the palm, clenched Awkward fixation and reflex Determined in the hex What then shant be written And often times surrendered Oh the meakly minted papers Scrolls of nomads taunt Yes, we are vile Completing our wound That we are bound to one and all Despite spite unglued Wisdom and refusal And reluctance timber again Each decade spent Each mundane wish dispelled

Distant Taste Returns
The dawn will not respond The bleak letters stand The reprieve lives only as theater And we are at hand In the palm, clenched Awkward fixation and reflex Determined in the hex What then shant be written And often times surrendered Oh the meakly minted papers Scrolls of nomads taunt Yes, we are vile Completing our wound That we are bound to one and all Despite spite unglued Wisdom and refusal And reluctance timber again Each decade spent Each mundane wish dispelled
