CONTAINED

Within the curved
shadows, trapped in matted grass
clumps clods earth mound root
jagged wood and ragged rock
sunk in thirsty mud
a flower trapped
curved funnel
opened towards the sky
pointed tongue
licking wanting consuming
Within the curved shadows,
trapped in matted grass
clumps clods earth mound root
jagged wood and ragged rock
there lies a secret
sworn silence
fork of tongue
from sleeping serpent
speak the ghastly truth
of time that was
Within the curved shadows, trapped
in matted grass
clumps clods earth mound root
jagged wood and ragged rock
a million lives
on curving pathways
a lurking labyrinth
leading to the edge
of poisoned time
contained within the curve

Within the curved
shadows, trapped in matted grass
clumps clods earth mound root
jagged wood and ragged rock
sunk in thirsty mud
a flower trapped
curved funnel
opened towards the sky
pointed tongue
licking wanting consuming

Within the curved shadows,
trapped in matted grass
clumps clods earth mound root
jagged wood and ragged rock
there lies a secret
sworn silence
fork of tongue
from sleeping serpent
speak the ghastly truth
of time that was

Within the curved shadows, trapped
in matted grass
clumps clods earth mound root
jagged wood and ragged rock
a million lives
on curving pathways
a lurking labyrinth
leading to the edge
of poisoned time
contained within the curve
