Won’t murder grant him martyrdom?
As Thomas More, he’ll be so more
In death than ever living did.
Except, he’ll mind the company.
Except, he tilts the other way.
No, not the way that Tyndale did –
Another more in death than life
For words he wrote despite Sir More.
If More and Tyndale see-saw played,
He sees no see-saw’s what he said.
He sees no seers of divine.
He sees their Words as just some words:
Bewildering, though well-refined
Through centuries of what-they-mean –
These changing immutable signs.
