Troubles follow orbs, from wolf to wool, fowl to flow
honor binds dim bulbs, murderers and thieves, not bright
each invalid laid to rest, yet to rise, in vain
Sinister sister inserts tritones to no-show
insist to resist, irises stir the teaspoon
singularity, insularity, changes
tomorrow to cast a wider net, with no room
every corner hides, clutter abides to rewrite
rules for residents, no horseplay without champagne
I swallow a stream and dream scents of her perfume
Never say never, meet again over the moon
ecstasy unseats, the Senate rearranges
virtue riveted to their seats, nowhere to go
excellence arrests aretḗ in its tracks, stop
reverse direction, backwards towards the river
Had I known her name, her face, her voice, I would know
against my desire, my sister passed with hard-bop
despite being born, her demise makes me shiver
