Mistletoe Undone

Breaststroke on a Sunday a lazy misery if ever one found Set free from living mischief, Serene beyond dull - free? a wrinkled mind for crinkled fingers the decrepit remainder of home Not lifeless, no more alive, though than in helpless last moments yet for decades passed, fashioned pallid, pathetic Maniacally preserved for some museum show of half-lived human artifacts unidentified but for circa year soul murdered - suicide To take a swim, to reclaim, to folly! Resign - the dirt's tome.
