| the night's crown no | I |
| jewelled orb stabs this queen's spectre | J |

| to breech this reasoning | K |
| - | |
| Honeysuckle mist with armfuls | H |
| of orange lilies with scent stronger | J |

| - | |
| Place the constellations upon their heads | H |
| the colour so transcends | H |
| And then there are the bludgeoned | L |
| stars fallen into the eyes of | M |

| The sphinx moth that darns the night | O |
| with her acrobatics escapes the wreath | P |
| of troubled moon that places about | Q |

| Let her stone the night in peace | H |
| feel palpitations on her ocean breast | S |
| - | |
| The darting of stone cracks in fissures | H |
| along the causeway to the stonehouse | H |

| A definite mood projects | H |
| the starling tunnels | H |
| forlorn now with limpid darkness | H |
| crushed lavender from the pews | H |
| of thoughtful night | O |
| - | |
| There are armfuls of crushed bats | H |
| in the passageway to my heart | U |
| each reeking with squeals | H |
| to alarm the most frightened princess | H |
| Only one has stained the pass key | V |
| and I must find her | J |
| - | |
| A toad abides the thoughtful recess | H |
| broken under the wall | W |
| He is a good toad and mourns | H |
| the night creaking from the river bed | R |
| A monster dragon to the insects | H |
| making a living near the light | O |

| squeezing the eye's circle | X |
| pressing her to release her giddy charms | H |
| - | |
| At morning skeletal remains | H |

| Perchance I shall narrow | I |
| down the divide position alarms | H |
| remind myself I am inured to the | B2 |
| mood scent that mans this cosmic bandwagon | C2 |
| I hold up flowers to remind me | V |
| light escapes through jelly | V |
| and that rare LUMINESCENCE exists only | V |
| in lost bat chambers | H |
| buried deep near the recesses | H |
| of the snake | D2 |
| - | |
| The cry of havoc | E2 |
| all those armfuls of collapsed lilies | H |
| breaking under the toil of enforced handshakes | H |
| leaves me like a broken lamp | F2 |
| I have no more shades to patch | G2 |
| the plinths or barricade my heart | U |
| I have left my love on bended knee | V |
| in a land I choose to forget | H2 |
