In Tenebris

In the darkest watches of the night belief and unbelief are indistinguishable.

    The pale stars their torches
    Enshrouded wave.
    Ghostfires from heaven's far verges faint illume
    Arches on soaring arches,
    Night's sindark nave."

  2. In Tenebris did Genghis Khan
    Indulge his pleasure, third degree
    Where if the knackered ever ran
    They did regret as regret can
    Down to the Sun's page three...
    So twice five files of fertile spam
    Which takes me hours to condemn.

    (I don't know why it just came to me like that.)

  3. The Joyce I recognise (who else could think of sindark naves?) The other might usefully have been curtailed by a man from Porlock. But it's good to know that darkness inspires poetry of one sort or another.

  4. Hah. Still resistant to humbling. I suppose thinking that you couldn't recognise Joyce was a bit naive.
