Hourful

The silver tufts of grass have fed the air with hourfuls of mealy ferine smells and hot-backed buzzards, eagles and vultures must have chased their murderous shadows through the bush

Hills to the north and to the south shut in all the dampness and shut out hoursful of sun.

Angley then drifts into his hourful, mouthful extempore, accentuated with refrains of "cast the demon away with the power of the Lord."

Timed perfectly for nearly nothing, the hourful day proceeds.
