Moors of white,
The hand that feeds,
The mouth that bites.
Recognition with no thought
Of love unbound, therefore uncaught.
Mix and match, pick and choose,
Welcome to the buffet of life,
All that was
Heretofore invisible
Is now, and only now, at your feet,
Within hand’s reach,
Tip-o’-the-tongue-ready to eat.
Even fools have something to teach,
If one’s sense is keen
And the right spells are spoken.
What sort of wizardry do I see
Now
That the sky has broken?
I see no sights
But
Moors of white.

In order to fully appreciate this poem, pronounce the “h” as if it was in front of the “w” in the word “white”, e.g “h-wite”.
