Shuffle the raffle

Like a sparrows wing you were broken

Whilst I was feasting on Baudelaire

Hustle, harrow among dust bowls, soft words spoken

Never near, once more we, we were keeping clear


Midnight hour, crescent moon, for you the only token

Whilst I immersed in Poe and Mr. Arnold dear

Shuffle, ruffle, audits amongst dawn’s chorus woken

Ever to steer, rudder less throughout the sphere
