Tether and Swine

Phthisical whelp impugned and abandoned
Flayed from pelage
Thieved of its will
A spirit belied and bared to its essence
A bottomless anguish
Sacred ignominy
Much as the star begets the verdure
A lulling hart bears many alms
Much as the palmer beguiles the dwelt
A muddled boar is shackled still

Droves of ewes marching
Tether and swine
Nought betwixt

Resounding shrills beset all reach
Mistral of umbra ascending
Gorge listless to impiety
Bent in nolition to worth
