Borrow pity
from sylvan hospitality
and memory lane
as medieval
building blocks
to flatter royalty
I’m having none of.
No architectural excuses
for coloured glass,
litmus-lit rectitude,
antiphonal exchanges
or phantom transmissions
tributing the monograph
with archival
gravitas.
[Postage stamps
or doubly-extinct petals
between pages.]
