Flattered as a pancake......wholly gophered.....

to winnow...
weave
and
deftly draw
a yelp
a cry
a reason why....

a mission statement
clearly etched....
to
charm the pants...
with-hold the pets

in avid innocence....
a ploy........
a web to reap
a fragile toy..

astute, this plot....assail, trap mind.....
with hot, sour trembles...
kill the kind
with fables, shots
and
lead the blind
to hop and skip into a well
of emptiness....
and
leave a string...a bucket.... up.........to void...and sting
with
little
worth
remembering...........

'magic'.....in this 'tragedy'...?
unlikely....as diversions sought
by means of guile, overwrought...
soon lose the gleam that seemed to be.....
reveal a barren, twisted tree....
singing, keening..... just one note......
as sinking-hole-in-bottom boat.......

delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........
