Feather light words exhumed
heavy as Mussolini's clock
coo coo times, chimes
and a fascist bird sings;
sweet and succinct
Taken as is
might slight delight
The vitiation of words
in the phrases
Petals dead on a wet, rotted bough

heavy as Mussolini's clock
coo coo times, chimes
and a fascist bird sings;

Taken as is
might slight delight
The vitiation of words

Petals dead on a wet, rotted bough
