Sundin Richards

Sub Rosa

In the company
of horrors

  I learned the
  scales of mercy

Hush then
violet is

  One letter
  from

Perfection
quiet then

  Bad dream
  entelechy

The wheel
is just

  Something
  that happened

To other
people

  And the
  animals

Are gone
to

  The high
  way

There's no
living in

  The
  water

There's no
living in

  The
  sky

Rhyming time
with mine

  Everything
  results

Except
music
