On Bated Wings/ Et adhuc

In-sufferance

On bated wings,

Garlicky stressed

Freckled toxicant

Colloquially,

Intension’s flushed

By the spiny rose

Of latent ken

         ;

Cloven pungency

Infiltrates the aria

Unaccompanied tearstains

Bled to extinction,

A condemnation,

Not un-similar to

The last words Italicized

By that of Umbrian tongue

*Et adhuc,

 Canticum exultat

**Quam potest hoc esse?

It's another Tuesday and another Open Link Night.  Head on over to D'Verse for a great selection of poetry for your reading pleasure.  And while you're there, link up a poem of your own for others to enjoy.  See you at the pub.

For those who'd like to know what the Latin phrases mean in English, I've listed the translations below.

*And still,

  A song of joy

** How can this be?
