Hell on fire with 3 hares, a quadrille and a quail .. . in a coconut sky
A sonnet burns upon this flaxen heath
flairs are lit within my glowered eyes
storm the harbinger of yellowed grief
dance blurred visions of three hares
From stubblefields at thy peripheral
emerged their kimbel, a lively jack
he adds his steps to form a quadrille
that dances sun onto its bronzed back
They chasse, then quick as wink soon depart
to scatter quail and all sad, buried thought
from oilseed gold to crofter’s mournful cart
at fields where our brothers may have fought
Salute the sky, its hero ghosts awake
all other hellish memories forsake
