Kit with Candle

Iterations of combustible
pranks not to lose control
so manoeuvre as a fertile
first choice the fine purée.
The pine gardens further north
preeminent the kites become
powered gin of taste of chirping
all to remove soiled slurping.
Here are the highly louvred
and comely arts a quick bastion
a reverenced house on hill
brightly combed especially
at setting sun guard over fears.
The stippled moss and fanning airs
among liverworts of the bent pinks
or rosebay not forgetting blowdown
will appease the launch all-too varied
and alpine timbers’ exhilarating rise.
Or when freshness of lamps fluted
beside ways for when the boreal
shivers in prototrembling place
crown a sight for pastels
of the turnout for feathers timing
prepare then boost of sneakabout
of wheres of angled shining
how far the all or nothing rout.
