Those Dark Halls of Ambiguity

By Ian C. Smith

Those Dark Halls of Ambiguity

Haunting parish records of Shakespeare,
scholars scouring vellum’s inked decay
pursue rapture for clues, straight or queer,
haunting parish records of Shakespeare.
His sonnets sing of swoon, now long sere,
not bald facts, that bed, Anne Hathaway.
Haunting, parish records of Shakespeare,
scholars scouring, vellum’s inked decay.
