Exile
I mounted the spangled ivory stairs
for her want of spires never attained
with the constance of Ruth.
She said you are a slender dark shelter of coppiced cedar
a coral forest of lovers lost in the deluge
colonial beacons lavender pens
and paisley ponds of swan may be your home
but leave study the law
the walls of wild Hell
for there is no justice here
But incy mincy pinches drained all my valour and embroidery
diminished deciduous clouds
"Show me the body" decreed Saladin
My murderer lives by the Corner Brook
she must know him
for they both speak English
jelly makers of betrayal
India ink
Contempt of court
Easterly gales
I wed the wolf. 2011 Lucien Senna All Rights Reserved Copywright
