The clad ivy charms, warms the walls,
The frontage that welcomes the fold and their outsiders,
Specifying age and strength of delicate beauty, 
Which accounts for that non-existent love:

Bowing down for this subtle borrow in trade, 
My head just pounds with an ache just throbbing away.
My thoughts gathered and crunched with a million bits and pieces of the obvious.

The soul is dead in passing 
The spirit lost its belonging 
Running out of Ancestors peripherals
Last breath of thee, a gasp

The transfer of funds is a loving gratitude for work well done.
Not self-sufficient...

lets give it a shape
twisted lines of 3-d scribbles
starts and ends nose to tail
maybe
marshmallow squidges syphoned through gossamer ether
missed mist of missing moments
