"Requeim For a Mockingbird"

Envy lies naked on a rose --

Blindly, on bed;

Tonight, -- we bind to shed

Ourselves from purpose

And dread

That sough us from hearing, --

Fearing...

The silent touch of Moire.

 

It lies darkly on thy posture

Of many a figure

And requiem for my mockingbird, --

Those of many a love of my mockingbird,

(The Reaper

And my keeper

Of my very own

Requiem for a mockingbird)

Alone, all alone

We bind to shed...

 

Alas! Now Death

Comes as Nepenthe for my mockingbird,

(The only love

I've come to unravel the love

Of my mockingbird)

Now, breathing from her now, the breath

Of my heart leapt

Out from a mockingbird

And slept

As my eyes bind dead...

 

This is a requeim for a mockingbird, --

The Reaper

And my keeper

Of my very own

Requiem for a mockingbird,

Alone, all alone

We bind to shed

Ourselves from purpose and dread

That sough us from hearing, --

Fearing...

The silent touch of Moire...
