the lur

he’ll blare

the tabu
he’ll utter

the real
the tref
he’ll blur

the trull
the rabble
the heel
the hauteur
he’ll let

the threat
the bullet
the label
the rue
he’ll bear
the earth
the art
the truth

the bell
the rĂ¢le
the beat
alert
here he’ll–

ebb: at Lethe
a late blue tear
then tether taut

rare Herbert Blau
laureate Lear

the heart

he’ll halt
