Permit me


Permit me
To recapitulate
Upon rising
This day shortened
To a morrow

In the pit
Of the afternoon
Shadows stretch
For the edge of a night
No longer than the rest
Dead to the world
With rapid eyes

In the middling
Wrung
Is quartered grace
Unconcerned
With gaming time

What a terrible muse
To twist away
Just when the band
Got going
