Moving forward in time from In the Harvest ov Nations, in the mid-80's I began the poem that ultimately took on the name The Song ov Elmallahz Kumming. It is composed in 6 books. The first three are narrative in a fairly classic sense of a continuous story. The excerpt below is from early in Bouk 1.
...In the rizing Sol
Her feecherz touk shape:
Dark hare kurrelling
Over her sholderz
Az she skwatted
Beside the remnants ov a fiyer.
Her dert-streekt armz
Klaspt arrownd her neez.
The hare between her legz,
(Thare ware my gaze kontinnewlee ternd).
She woching my eyz,
Her expressen kalm, unchaenjing....
...But arrownd her klay silluwet:
A korrona, like the Sol in eeklips....
