The White Rose Knighted


Perfervia was the Queen


.........who knighted a white rose


.............................dressed in a garland


.....................................of pear garden green





and rose became man


........who crossed morphine and milk


.......,,,,,,,.......fawn drank the potion


..................................that made fawn dream a dryad


................................................whose garment was silk





and the silk nymph rambled


............and robbed monkeys and men


.........................till a tear tossed a turn-key


...........................................that opened a gaol. then





the bottom of heaven


...........dropped from the skies


..............................and the ear descent light





blinded nymph's eyes


.....nymph fell through a hole


..........in Swiss fromage skies


............and dropped to a place where breath whispered flames

....................................................flicker and die
