I Durst Not Dare

I durst not dare doubt sovereign might.
Of sovereign might I durst not dare.
I durst not dare though minister might.
Dear minister I durst not dare.

I durst not dare epistemic sleights.
Epistemic sleights I durst not dare.
I durst not dare imagine nationed rights.
Imaginationed rights I durst not dare.

In the dusk of a Saturday
I was left to my grandmother.
To a mother's love I durst not dare.
Whence the long shadows of Saturday
afternoon evening evening night,
I longed for a mom long among the alongs.
Alone anon twilight throngs
along the boulevards I durst not dare.
