A Slice of Lemon

The plaguing tictocs, of the grandfather clock
Produces an electric current upon my skin
Awakening cobwebs in my mind like a frock
The horrific chagrin begs the question of sin
A subtle distinction mid death and extinction
Not entitled to a timely refund by the kinetic force
A fiery necklace swings upon this skeletal fiction
I did refuse the hole, by heralding a sharpened torse
Are the moments, beyond this grave season,
dreamt of in terrific lucidity,bobbling plum senses
Oh the howling of the bawbling ratty eyed demon
Peace is divided,as the gathering pain intenses
Angular resolutions, well up on pivoting emotions,
cutting deeply across time and space saddling,
the age old answers of equal but swinging notions
Shuddering leathery ribbons, as deaths door is rattling
A sharp Hispanic nard tortures the flaring nostrils
Awaking fatigued, in the hall of ill-reputed women
Praising an opiated green fairy, under doomsday’s till
