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.
