If Kant has a Nocturnal Emission
must he inform the Constable?
An imperative commission,
because antinomies annul autonomy.
Faust's dog was no Poodle
But a black Dachshund
Immanuel walks punctually
across the King's mount daily
as motley Owls soar aloft.
The constellate crown
blooms brilliant to sight
a crystalline bow
of radiant smile
above Hunter's shield.
Her stellar tiara
waxes finely swift
in starstruck eyes.
Plumes of silver flit
with crisp gusts 'cross
blue scrolls above
Light hews, gold with grey,
as bonny birds trill
sullen on stark limbs.
When words play cruel coquettes
and you're drawn to stubs
like puddle soaked cigarettes
the glacial hush snubs.
Where is the tinder
for sonorous bonfires?
Pegasus' canter
sears what inspires.
It stills the inner ear
with apathy's drone
and the dumbshow vents clear
the muted chill of bone.
