What be the heading, friend, that by

no leave you lead afoul of all

the faith-made kin you did belie

so mutiny would be your fall.

Why take the fallen star back to

the sky that split his heart in two?

What constellations do you show

to illustrate that we may know?

Are these derived from distant cries

of worlds the law makes loathe to seek?

How can these phantoms from the peak

Restore your praise in tear-filled eyes?

Peace, though you speak, you answer not

to offer sights most eyes forgot.
