chickenwire fox got him
caught in barbed wire
came barking top
there yonder hill
where still the
bonefires still burn
in that iron night of
overcast skies waiting
on for drizzle to
cast off like it do
ungreased axels turn
on the world g’round
have you heard?
have you heard?
an eye for an i
a tooth for the truth
goin’ to set that
barbed him wire to burn
peat dusk, with
flame all but shrieking
set embers on the dawn
him, caught in barbed wire came

Clever plays in your third stanza. Nice work.

Thank you Chris. I don’t feel particularly clever most days…
