All Melody to Bequeath

 

In the vanity mirror I                         dictionary and tweezer, 

Knowing full well

       The imposter geezer 

My wart is frog induced

       Too much Disney juice 

And a full moon paddling

     Black eye from skedaddling 

Wrinkles only wisdom earned       by topics extracurricular 

Chipped teeth at least not                    perpendicular    

     

Man boobs all pectoral granite 

With only a few beauty marks

 

 from mixing concrete in pajamas 

Dim light that's 

        cave human good 

Evolution sets the mood to                        brood          

A scar for character 

       why not employ plastic surgeons

        In Mexico it's 299 

per 70 year ole virgin 

Don't be looking glass crass 

Use your walker 

      to gawk yer carcass 

Microwave it in the buff 

That mercury's worn thin for one so gruff 

Let eyelids drawbridge                        discretion              

At one's vain pretension.  

____ 

Until death departs 

Empty handed our history 

A spiral wrapped dragon 

Teaching the sphinx anatomy lessons 

Sand in an hourglass rides 

Thru the snow 

Your horses feel the path with hocks or scent 

That oak only 700 years old 

Our goblet fell empty 

Reflecting solstice halos in which bitterness fades

Until hearth warms the stillborn 

Kindle my embers 

With chance darts of breeze 

Off baby tracer moments

There's no substitute

If your heart has invested in a family 

Mend one another 

Use kind words to map the tumble 

Make forgiveness unnecessary in inundated gratitude 

There's no world to fix 

There's books to write and songs all melody to bequeath 

Whether in hospital traction 

Comatose froze,

 involved in extreme sports 

Until death 

Does us smart.

Acorn can't fathom soil 

Or the leaves and branches mulched by thirty thirty million years 

That creates soil 

Acorn born to drop rolls out 

Onto mossy stones the glacier gave away 

That the volcano jetted in slow motion manifestation

Wind helps acorn over to a divot in terrain 

Just dipped enough to bed 

Under a patch fertile 

Not too moist with sunlight coaxing 

Favorable conditions click 

Growth gets busy rooting in over the smaller obstacles 

Toeholds for unknown tests 

The constellations wary of worry shrug their supernovas spiralling dances 

They also have settled in for a ride over walls of beyond frozen gases and furnaces crushing topics 

Acorn in their dimple ventures up and becomes a part of eternity 

Speckled with zoos of wild organisms and history bark 

Acorn has acorns for the squirrels and deer and birds to eat 

There's plenty it's life 

Space reclaims space in spatial justice the shadow flavors symmetry in canopy 

Storms barber the community and ice adds a belly one must carry for tomorrow

Acorn origins grow stories small elbow to elbow grinding minerals ho hum 

In repose either going back to our elements or becoming stone and preserved

Either way it's magic 

Either Way it's science 

Our hair also regardless falls out or goes different 

That's life in acorn school.
