WHITHER FROM HITHER

    

Whither depart I from hither

Whence I come go not I

To whither I go, I know not

Only to trinity rest ’Ope

’Ope assured on forever accord

Only when that accord

Accordingly went thought I

And only when nuptial knot

The nuptial knot seem

Naughtily, naughtily being knot

For such LOVEly journey it sometimes waiver

The two strange birds

But of a kind, were

Flying swiftly by nay! Bye

Alas! It would-have been by

Save for claims…

Claim of pre-understanding brawl’

Save for claim of savior ‘differ’

A claim so fatherly naughty and nought

I would have wished it nought

Now the claim was confirmed nought

And brought my whole life to a halt

Had not I intended not to journey beyond she?

I wouldn’t have … Nay!

Whither depart I from hither

To trinity I advance

Him only, is assured

’Ope beyond a forever accord
