IRON SHROUD



To hide a secret move it across
      a little adjacent on silver
      wire
      stifle the revelation
      by flicker
      so yesterday is at one side
      and not behind
      (here the likeness ends)
                   ¶
Tell-tale . . . your kill or cure
      leaves a train of sparks
      in a black box
      for the reader
      to cobble
                   ¶
The NAME is out
      but who is the man
      bolted it seems
      after the price
      of admission
