FUGITIVE

He who'd been the poet Wordsworth

Woke suddenly and heard his talent

Scratching at the window

While his muse hammered her fist 

At the front door. Escaping,

He faked his death. He is thought 

To have watched his funeral from

A closed carriage, but after that 

The trail grows cold unless 

He was one of the deceased poets

Implicated in the theft 

Of St. Oswald's uncorrupted arm.
