Needling

What is the game of the name?

It's the cloture, the frozen motion,

the final managerial ocean.

A series of metaphors

propagated along a
soundless phrase

giving mince to the meat

and pence to the peat

bogging down the holders

with colder shoulders

and billowing out like a
bellowing trout

giving too much music too little rhyme

until it all sounds an owlet's whine.

Let it seethe, proctors.

It's a doctor of a horse,

an option in the worst,

a sausage of the cursed,

a devil detail that will not
be revealed

until every haystack turns blue with flame.
