Reincarnated
Ghost dweller—
That niggling spirit
who at the end of things
pointed out that reborn
monarch butterflies are night
peacocks screeching obscenities
from the hardwood trees of sorrow,
despair & decadence.
Spiritual ladders
of error, heresy &
madness recycled.
mouthparts optional-
metamorphosize
heresy into hearsay-
post-verbal phase
+++obscenities and sorrow+++
That first verse slays me. Nothing wrong with the last three lines but oh that first verse is perfection.
Striking
