What the bird-seller hides


 As Blood to forever live, thy Sieve, the Flood broods in the Dark
While, entered two by two, Love's mutinies are its Ark
Dove of a Kingship's conclave too fractious to fly
 You Caladrius! That you won't meet my eye!

Envoi-
Peace hath a Prince! tho' all Power can but palter
 Thought fouls its nest 'neath Death Thy altar.

Reponse-
In what the canny bird-seller carefully hides
Winged hope, yet, worshipfully abides.

Siddhanth

Thy Word casts Jaundice to the canary, Melancholia to the crow
My Invisibility to Her, to which bird will it go?
