pree di shrieker deh
high chess with no mates
refusing to eat rook
volatile and sandy in the middle of the rheum
an arcane limbo
where shallow meets rootless
playing social in a huddle
no mind to the prowess
of the sorcerer's swift darning needle feelers
it's time we bare our fangs:
six or seven legendary
golden pearly whites
creeping out of the gully like thyme
and woodbine shoots
