patchy fog

[fledgist]

enough to speak here of the patchy fog
in sheeplike huddles  moving by the coast
not like the tales in which we were engrossed

in which the princess kissed the urgent frog
and forced him to make good on his big boast
enough to speak here of the patchy fog

we're left to wonder why you need to flog
the dying sun to haste before the ghost
of pale remembrance has gone past the post
enough to speak here of the patchy fog
