shed that shell translucently lacquered by childhood that insect fluttering behind the ivory bars of your ribcage was once buried under funerary mosses of a fallen oak tree three hundred years of aged silence basking in it's demise saying "I stretched to the heavens but they scurried away every night of every day"
