""On Gelid Night""

by David John Hart - Scorpio

On gelid night, prone amidst this sea of faineant coverlets
A nimiety of somnolent susurrations--
Bombinate and pierce the greyblack night

Still, the foundling lies on bilious pillow
A radiator's dolorous tintinnabulation
Harmonizes a fan's punctilious paean.

On this gelid night,
A languid pillow kisses this naive cheek.

Reason for writing:

    My childhood
