~a Concoction of Me~
A permanent separation between
brows and crown; divorce still pending,
though ears have retained coverage rights,
and eyes - so blue they are brown – accents
to embellish emotional belief of baggage carried.
Spring pressured jaw that always seems to slip
the leash, run riot around pedigree breeds,
sloshing retorted shrapnel from a machine gun
tongue; generally over heated,
but I care,
conveyor belt heart that ships understanding;
free from charge, to a select few that manage
to place an order – no guarantee on broken parts,
and trust is a buy-one-get-one-free offer.
Just make sure it’s used by best before date
else recriminations may be incurred,
and I suppose these words I throw down
are robbed from history’s corpse:
resurrected – unlike Christ - as a shade
lurking somewhere in my corner of maybes,
black capped, ready to pronounce sentence
on misconceptions of my limited verbiage.
