Description
Constricted by a double-breasted concertina
That heat beneath his fingers lets him know
That in his heart he planewastes cross the desert
And driven by the moon, forgets the snow

The etching of his face in snub-nosed shadows
As lovingly he snakes the writhing type
Speaks nothing of the churning clouded windows
Which linger on although he’s overripe

With cunning pikes he’s darning up the stitches
He catches ribbons lengthwise in his heart
The ones that threaten freedom from his crutches
The ones that pull his crevices apart

But if the lesson learnt corrects the memory
And sets in line diversions left behind
Then shallow sport imparts its admonition
It very rarely pays to stalk the blind.
