"Escaramouche" by David Hart
(Oppqi denne dvask mork dosig himmel)
Behold the sparrows in the whispering trees
What is? Who is? Why is?
This katzenjammer mien of mine
Oh me oh me oh my oh.
Spatchcocked into the All in a
Vorpal vortex--repining, moiling
and resiling.
O this bouleversement--
A multifarious truculent
Heart--fie upon't foe.
A fiesty fantod for this
Hobbledehoy who anon
Helter-skelter tumbles
Through a fulginous
Parthian shaft and forthwith
Is sent to Coventry
Dendroid friends--remosed
And at attention in
Rectitude.
Now, in this scheheradzadian
and numinous site.
Now, sensing in delight
the petrichor.
Alas, repining and
denying the
Eldritch diablerie ooze
That ooze is now
the denier cri.
Viceral quagmire
Of sorts
Sitting and fidgeting
on this bench--
A bel-esprit
Attending an interminable
Barmicide feast.
An appentence for an apposite
Arabesque desiring and deserving
An absolutely alluring alembic.
Rene Descartes you just
began to start
In a stove in the dark.
Now a passel of confabulating
Swallows
Ebullient in flight
Salute a cluster of
Obmutescent natty trees.
