The Progeny of Death


Bleeding from wounds imposed in the dark,

Barely a world to last her a life,

Hippocrates vanquished by silver so stark

Now lapping and drooling ‘ere morning comes wife.

"Crypt for a crib" screams the unblemished eye,

Speaking out silence lost upon men,

Spitfire and vitriol’s imminence nigh

Fruitfulness flushed from the rosewater fen.

Where could it be,

The bare wooden tree,

If but not to deny,

Its own progeny?
