Leave lies low
…to lift love to live
…to learn and look and lock and light
…losts in leaping laughter
II
Mend the most of mistakes
…to make the mirage of marks
…of monsters miss merries of mockeries
…of mental molestations
III
Naked nauseas need new nuts
Naughty nostrils need nodding noodles
Night’s nearness never nudges neighbours
…who never knew knocks of darkness
So learn to
…make men who man
…make nice hearts turn naughty
In poor palaces
