Bread-van Impasse
Reptilinear
Quoth the bee
Presumptive in clay
Whose vanishing burden
Confounds
Whereas Rosetta
Mortice of the tide
Plump in her pink beauty
Relieved of harassment
By spite
Braver than elements
Spake the germ
Compounding atrocity
a blue ocean miles away
Lies still
Or still
How the falterer
Saner than the earth
Lends weight to the grime of the sun
Slow portent of pollen
Drifts on the faltering breeze
Before both fall still - always lying
Forever lying
Accumulating wealth
Impalpable declensions
Baffle the unwary traveller
Slaked with the impossible
Aroma of sun-drenched seaweed
Long forgotten
