Othello
Was it his zodiac to part the moon by halves,
Argus-eyed at the helm for the weather-beaten wanderlusts!
Or did this dark form share kinder prisms
With ethereal night to fill the goblets with the storms
Brewed on his brows and plunge
The andirons deeper headlong into hearts
Devoid of ample room for bigotry.
You did not betray this circle of your forebear.
Ogun is never one to make a spoofing kiss to bud.
Was it his zodiac to part the moon by halves,
Argus-eyed at the helm for the weather-beaten wanderlusts!
Or did this dark form share kinder prisms
With ethereal night to fill the goblets with the storms
Brewed on his brows and plunge
The andirons deeper headlong into hearts
Devoid of ample room for bigotry.
You did not betray this circle of your forebear.
Ogun is never one to make a spoofing kiss to bud.
