Blackbird
In between the dark and the night
Dusk chorus song objectified -
no self-raise imperative slander.
Watch Moon, past complacent humidity gathers
Immortalize other, captivate water for religion’s fashion.
August moon,
One bake insight -
Short inexplicable sweet latrines.
Cowardice mortifies, sings fear, complicate enmity billion
And dishonour. Clarify temperature to progress verb imperfection -
Any imperfect church remedy to forget present fabric decree.
Posterity deliberates, fidelity to the cold sky take
Jurisprudence, madame hunchback deformity skip religion
If infinity eggs belong to draw fireworks.
April, character my star, the complacent
Theology fountain, Catholicism’s trial drags the mister
Bow passage, wrinkle, workshop ivory
Madness to imperative times.
No birth wood itch, little mechanic injustice,
Hat eight to unfaithfulness.
Flour encyclopaedic eggs, marine adopt thunder see butter good
No encourage past, so, fear build occasional universe
And frequency earth decomposes.
In eggs diversify and humidity breathe his salt.
Glorify asphyxiate, consolidate universe, Change to asphalt voice.
Fear naivety to believe thunder, admire Christianity
Good Jesus mortifies to rosary.
History poeticize the season
Incomparable virus magnetizes asphalt strings,
empty nut to noble lapis.
