Opiate
So it is!
A curious mingle,
Upon that woody shingle,
Upon that ligneous shore.
But more, is the meddle
Of twiggen basket cringle,
( A crepitating cringle )
And operant hellebore:
So rarely suspended,
( Pendulous, then upended )
From the crook of an
Marmoreal member ( an arm ).
To the apothecary�s cradle,
( Table, stew and ladle ).
Scions tumble, leaflets crumble.
Tainture! But mark; a sistering jar:
To his swelling ring.
Singular, the serous bead, that to her
Rivelled aureole clings...
Crowkeeper (Cornelius Scarecrow esquire)
