New Clothes

Levers lifting all our ruined battlements
Prizing open long hammered thinking
Cracks’ appearing light was seeping through a bit
And dividing unto life

Gifted openers losing aged thought for new
The emperor wearing real clothes at last
His state of gross undress long held unrecognized
He was weaned of his affected attire

Fish bowls cracked as bird cages fell open free
The emperor’s prey escaped
Old clothes vanished for the appearing of their actual cloth
Fancy’s intrigue could no more clothe

Now all forms of former things were left and lost
Latent running only could see a recurring
From levelled plains the new array was of mystery’s undoing. 
And all soothed our fallen battlements were real fabric
