The Unknown

Whispers, whistles and whimpers graced the witless end Far apart sprang strange smeared summer songs Ruthless dark winter cloud oppressed the entire bend Tang tong tongue twisted tales were narrated by the toothless The weaning ones sat on the set sand Not once nor twice did the melting sea ice rise A fierce frost arose and all were driven to the land Time telling term tales was all they could use Every move tirelessly tempted the cloud to burst They tumbled on tiny icy stars, just like the rice At times voices and boasting images smiled from the east Belly powdered powered women drank the curse Fires from their pockets slaughtered their thighs Anonymous panicking present embraced the past. The piped lames and flames popped and aimed on the fading surface A shopped chopped tray and a famished rat was what they needed The clairvoyant forced a cry but all that appeared was a taunting face In an automated power the sacrifice was loaded while all nodded Peaked pears fell from the tomb and the fading surface wasn’t in place As the wrath struck all knelt and pleaded.
