- Eos
Hopeless, asking hells in the sky, the stormingmud pie slinger, hacking the weak to pieces,dawn of bitter sickening habit-formingfucked-up deforming.
My own Eos, covering turf with morningdewdrops, make my coverage and headlines charming,make my local personal times non-harming,nothing alarming.
May your softness often restore, bring warmingspeeches, peaches, fields full of tiger lilies,larks, and not too terribly hard, your calmingcloak, so disarming. [End Page 83]
