As was fashionable
So becomes obligation
One less concession
But another regret
Talons are not made for combs
And too sharp drew the camera
A portrayal of indifference
Becoming a home
All royalty escapes
Never having had freedom
And upon the palace the babes
Quieted beside the bakers breads

I've no money
I've a bed
I have eaten
And now instead
I park
Knowing
Re-establishing whereabouts
Unknown
Isn't common to do
Yet, inside my visit
I am there too
It begins this deep
The bloom is warm rest, indoors
The time, fearful and abnorm
The others writing and saying
Haven't finished the clues
I've been praying

Everything must incubate in the cacoon
Preserve after flying
And while indulging in the modern try
Wouldn't you prefer
A world less invented
A speak easier cafe crowd
To start
It varies
Trinkets are quirky
Yet a cart full of produce I can handle
Sewing used is a leg not confused
But I haven't the means for fashioning a pirate ship
But yes a bottle may provide?

I only know in compassions tone
Which way a statement falls
And should I reach to those closest
Forgive my limping as I escape
And that I would be required
Or cancelled along the tombs
Is filled over and again
I've nothing left to prove
My eyes are aged
And shadows I did see
But the retreated light
Succumbs to the gain
The wisdom wasn't taller
Catching blame as fodder
While reviewing the two feet below

In time the familiar passed,
And I would reminisce of
The kind entrances,
And of course the prepared arrivals
There existed the calm
Before the generational swell,
And came was the altering,
But not into old fabric
The parade is handed over
Skipping longer in tenure,
And the distant barter speaks of before,
Now, not curious as when
When falls flat in timing the oceans
Passenger to a passing instead
And from no change, a missing
Missed in the moment shed
The skin is upon the light,
Exchanging muted darkness,
And rare is the ancestors sound
Taken was wandering, in a new, muting of audience
