Grade eff off key day
make the beast go away
can't shake mood today
eerie meters play
got the doom on me
bagpiping the tune
Lady of Shalott blues
in B-flat river gloom
blue moon of Camelot
Keep on shining gloam
from Ohio's mud banks
Charon ferries me home
blue veined hands grasp
Sun's spotted yellow chill
permafrosted core
holds the ice queen still
empty orb hollowed
dull daylights retract
bleakest black and blue
prism fragments refract
needle nosed lances
on tiny aimed shard
finds a clear target
hits tender heart hard
sun without no shine
burns like saccharine
jeering and jesting
of a fake friend's grin
forced rumination
gnaws in stranglehold
peas porridge stewed in
the pot nine days old
banjo nerves jangle
in arthritic knot
Discordant twangle
my C minor Camelot
