Licking the Arno

The little rosy

Tongue of Dawn

Interferes with our eyelashes

вАФвБ†вАКвБ†вАФвБ†вАКвБ†вАФвБ†вАКвБ†вАФвБ†вАКвБ†вАФвБ†вАКвБ†вАФвБ†вАКвБ†вАФвБ†вАКвБ†вАФ

We twiddle to it

Round and round

Faster

And turn into machines

Till the sun

Subsides in shining

Melts some of us

Into abysmal pigeon-holes

Passion has bored

In warmth

Some few of us

Grow to the level of cool plains

Cutting our foot-hold

With steel eyes
