Sunny Tunnel Church

a rustle, monocled, a shuffle, chronicled
gnash, sweat, stride no words was rhymes
with a rustle, monocled, & a shuffle, chronicled


see, at the time I had time extra hooves
it behooved me, to keep quiet about it
see, at the time I had time extra hooves


so rats spooked you, summer commas?
tho its your shadows that're small, your
teeth that're poison, its you who rats spooked?


soft my bounds, sweeps straw their whip
like crooners swoop spooked e'er like schooners
soft my bounds, sweeps straw their whip


unnumbered counted now & continues earthbound
kind hordes may reach what, once, language left
unnumbered counted now & continues earthbound


down lyre, to that sunny tunnel church
my dead Spring travels to me from 1000 nights away
down lyre, to that sunny tunnel church
