Butterfly over the Colossus (1960)


V


But by now, you know, or damn should, the old ropes

A member of the corvidae, strikes up an attitude

Which by some design lies across the wife and the husband

Feathers the nest, and death is nursed, like the open mouth

Til the season changes to the favoured, the richard the third

Weather, of discontent, laboured into four lines, then the cut

We must now plummet, a few vernes, in league with the tombs

The waters rush cold over the skeletons, you ask to much of me

Drunk like a college, sounds like madonna, and jacks the lad

A regular ragbag of verbatim thoughts, plundered by the butterfly
