He’ll Nevermore Return

A Fibonacci Poem Spiralling Inward in Anger

————

A raven screeching “Nevermore!” had left its mark above the door upon the bust of Pallas with a Chalice which I’d cleaned the night before.

Though I beseeched and even screeched back at the bird, he said naught but that word I deplore,

therefore I preached—and finding my anger’s limit breached,

what was it that I reached out for,

nailed across the door?

Clubbed him with

a two-

by-

four.
