Contemplating The Mysterious This Or That
Can anyone tell us for certain what the mystery looks like?
Grubby windows and beyond are leathery landscapes
things must be beautiful there
Gardens piled high with weeds
kind and inviting soft grass
Saprogenic legends thrown atop a putrid lot
poplar branches in full bloom
The judas hole in the door exposes evil
a bag of treasures left on the doorstep
Corruptible knockers spotted striving for entry
highly pleased to see today’s company
Emitting radar of danger after one opens the front door
the perceptible easing of fear as one views a friend
Each room reflecting every hidden double cross
the whole house furnished with poetical legitimacy
Furnished by the now exposed, boorish innkeeper
by a jovial superintendent
Ragged pieces of paper upon which are written all of your sins that can never be hidden
a version of peace and harmony ever nestled in the heart as code for companionship
A hostile power spoils the eternal food
each morning a beautiful, full English breakfast for two
The forced chasm of turmoil
persuasion as a way to peace
The fleeting trickery of duplicitous disconnection
an occasional shattered ecstacy liberated and reassembled for all time
