  • Gain by murder
    Old murder stain immortal on the Molesworth floor Dirty kitchen corner Where in hornier cornmaking days we spent time cavorting Feasts fit for horned lords, sporting hunt blusterful Wide-ended blunderbussish his wondrous hunting horn Painted urn waxy and lustrous, bull blood red and bone dust white Depicting the blinding of one-eyed Polyphemus on the Sicilian… Read more: Gain by murder

Our borderstraddling birders bored us With pictures of strange murders against porous skies. Poorer service than ever I had… Read more: New birds
