Where, Lord, alights the foot of Ardency's stride?

The Sahara of Becoming is but a sole-print wide

 Maddened is my Innocence at the malice of its Test

Privily deflowered as boutonnière to thy chest!

Still, Sand castles anneal Hope & Calf Love, Veal, the Calf

Till, Despair teeth bare the Two Worlds' butcher laugh.

Love-mad I evince, by Indifference murdered to be heard

 Peace hath a Prince! Tender weregeld She the Word
