harry and scary
by tanner brockwell

harry and scary
a novelty of tedium
bone white china
on vessels stowed
earth for silver
trade away
before the smoke
conjured again
and back back with shining
for the whole sub-continent
dark for eyes
not darker than souls
to buy a man sell a man
take a man in the press
no returning
even those who did
did not for foreign
plots cheap in quantity
black book
for battersea
yellow junk
blow me down
hooks give me chills
they had us close
that night fell terrible
powder shook to timber
my misstep fortune
reahcha reahcha reahcha across the walk
a drink oblivion or nigh
good wishes to ye gentleman
farewell
