Totem poles, bare naked, arranged in a row
fiery headed, emerging out of the mists
Mysterious all light and no flame
by some source subterranean fed,
Either side of a path paved of dark
this moonless night, by the flickering star,
walks the shadow of some being with eight
wondrous arms cast symmetric about its head.
oh the flaming lights, dying into the mists,
extending into the depths of the distant night
fiery headed, emerging out of the mists
Mysterious all light and no flame
by some source subterranean fed,
Either side of a path paved of dark
this moonless night, by the flickering star,
walks the shadow of some being with eight
wondrous arms cast symmetric about its head.
oh the flaming lights, dying into the mists,
extending into the depths of the distant night
New experimental verse, I'm calling this method 'connection by identity' for now, until I hit upon another name - essentially, connecting the reader with the consciousness of the object or scene being described.
