the node is black  (  a  p o e m z  )

…

the node is black & brogue's the knave

of sod's the socks & crap's the pave

the hill's the beans & quills the cat

that birds the worms & tails the dave


the crowns are cloaks & stoke's the stave

as scribe's the hen that hems the they've

the clown is frogs that flare the hat

& spot the watt then doze the shave


the moor is spoor & yore's the lathe

yet hum's the herd that pied the wave

that swat the eyed & mead the map

to perm the worm & ant the rave


the plank is sands & cat's the cave

of wing the bells & thatch the save

as wife is lard & fried's the bat

that yelps us sieve & stodge the grave

...
