Titania

Thus, thus, thus – I pay no heed to Quit-That’s;

Unthwarted, I advance –

Daft as a brush,

Balloon-heights over bramble,

Clambering handlessly,

Flippering footlessly –

Toward the silver slice

Of shore that dreamers drown toward.

You made winters warm and Hell a homestead,

Back when we were True Love’s triple cherry –

In blew winds eventually,

And stochastic was the gravity –

You are now refracted light surrounding me –

Mouthlessly,

Heartlessly,

Hounding me.

To the Moon who laughs at lassos:

Come down to me.
