Outplaying

They walked out gagged 
before they entered the water
for an irreverent
ceremony.

It was a coal time 
to start the fire. A salute
in light was given to those
who were alive.

You can go for a strip-
search of a gaint jelly fish
to find the vertical beams
in its dome.

A painted stork comes 
with an empty pouch. There 
was a perpetual delay in
understanding the parenthesis.
