“The Unknowable Scribe by Stewart Stafford

Behind the looking glass,
Lurks the trembling hand of deception,
How deep it goes.

Scratching worthlessly on the glass,
Yet leaving diamond shavings in its wake,
To ponder over endlessly.

Question not, despise not,
Seek no answers here
For there are none to give.

The cygnet is mooncalf,
To the mighty swan,
Cat's paw to catchpenny.

Birther to birthing,
A classification of bedding,
To redress the baseness of our grindings.
