The first is the one, the second the whole.

Hear, hear, I’m heaven-sent!
Open up your heart, and see
Not the message that was meant
But a parcel that is me
Put away the wrapping paper
Sit me down on the floor
I’m a drinker, you’re a vaper
And we always want some more
Till our heads will overload 
Eyes get dim, the hour’s late
Through the air we come afloat
Cause in sleep

Provision-purchases
Prevail
Paper-bags pull-apart
Preferably
Possible process...
Endeavors
Easily executed
Ending these is
Endless
Endeavor...
Seen dead
They resurrect
Restlessly
Leisurely linger like
Spirits of sinners...
Like the flesh of creatures
Creatures cannot
Consume these
Exist eternally
As ecological errands...
Carrying them to
Carry my provisions
Continue
Intentions Immobilize
Impotently!

Premium MemberThe Parcel

“It’s a parcel for you, Sarge!”
the words hung visibly;
condensed in the bitter air.

Ice underfoot cracked
beneath the sodden boots 
approaching;
each step releasing 
fetid odours
of rotting corpses,
faeces,
death,
that it was hitherto
holding at bay.

A dozen pairs of eyes
stared, greedily
as the package exchanged hands.

Shaking, 
the sergeant held the box
in its crude wrapping
of brown paper
and string.

Eventually
he pulled off his stiff mittens
with

Premium MemberA Brown Paper Parcel

A brown paper parcel 
Appeared at my door 
Just lying outside 
There on the floor

As I picked it up
It rattled a bit
I gave it a shake
What was in it?

I had to wonder
Who was it from
It might not be safe
It might be a bomb

I gingerly tore
The paper away
It did make me curious
I really must say

I finally

I Am the Parcel Straining In Vain Where I Am

I had to look up from the 
forest floor to find my way 

Though, lost in marvel, 
my eyes "did" want to stay 

Across the forest floor 
decay danced with birth 

Circled rings within grain 
measure years of worth 

My pace raced through a 
forest of thought, save face 

Unraveling roots traced and 
laced with

Parcel 38 Grave No 509

Rufescent clouds descend on the Victorian horizon as the sky dies
Beneath them bone chilling winds roar as salvos,
I feel like an acceptor who adheres to the doctrine of disguise
While looking through the prism of a Sunset Tourmaline.
It is not what I want but what I prize.
As a harbinger I walk through the walls of smashed

Unreceived  Parcel

I have sent your parcel Please be patient  
Your curtain hooks have been sent 
It's on its way
Yes sir, I have sent it 
I will make a special deliver 
Through the dark forces of night 
In horse and cart 
Await me at 2 am tonight 
Leave the window slightly ajar 
I will

Premium MemberThe Parcel Shifter

At the station was a handsome parcel shifter...
Several parcels on his trolley,
and an eye for me.
Oh the depth of his blue eyes!
Even an ocean would not have that blue... 
He had his mouth slightly open... to speak?

But I was shy and looked down at his parcels,
and began counting them in my head
as if I were

Parcel

A parcel came to my address
But it was wrapped in colorful papers.
It looks so splendid.
  With card of value a hard board tagged.
Gift offered indeed.
Where love of ray sets smile for a long.
 Gift is a book of song.
She knows that I can sing a song with tune of melody.
When searched song of melancholy.
Her

Premium MemberParcel of Clay

In the mail came the clay
It was addressed to me they say
When opened, the parcel
Really stunk , Had this marvel

Been untimely parcelled
Address been wrong
Surely there was some 
That didn't bong

The post was contacted
Since it was sent
Postage pre-paid
Just be content

Accept it with gladness
Do with it what you can
Don't you understand
This is for you woman

It will help
