In asking of
Remote intimate
The intimidation of intelligent
Shall one conclude the posturing
Of self forgiveness
And after the appearance
In false appraisal
As having not been purchased
Invitingly?

The light watches
And the book is retired
Yet when is shame full?

The only asking of war, civil
The crime of rights?
A sign in roads faltered pass
Alms too gentle to latch

Two as more praise gentle deceit
