Energetic owls,
or were they
obfuscatory emus?

Alliteration's animus
calls to all the wrens
spreading left and rights
as far and glassy glen.

We faded back to Bombadil
and lost our sight tonight
licking our wounded tenses
as our fences mend themselves.

When we said that we meant
it, we meant sit, stay, lie down,
turn yourself over and in and in
and inside outside over-and-out.
