SHROUDED SOIL

VIA OSTENTATIOUS PINK, SELF-SUPREME NATURAL VERBOSITY
NAUSEOUSLY MAGNIFICENT
INCLINED BY RIVAL, RELATIVE ENVY
A PEONY BLOOMS TO DEATH
BESIDE THE RED SEA
A BURIAL OF SORTS
INTRINSICALLY BLUE 
IF IT WEREN’T FOR THE SPAWNING SALMON
INTENSE WITH INTENT
WHO DANCES TILL DEATH DOES THEM PART
IF NOT BY THEIR BIRTHING 
DILIGENT BREEDING
WHEREFORE ART THOU WOULD REST
WOOD BLATANTLY BE BENEATH THE JUNGLES’ VEGETATION 
ENTWINED
IN ROOTING
THE STUBBORN BARK
IDYLLIC IF EVER 
EVEN GREATER 
THE GAP FROM THE GROUND
MOIST WITH ANATOMY’S WINE DARING ALL
HUNGRY TO QUENCH

GREEN AS IN THE GAPING YOUTH OF AGGRESSIVE, OFF-PUTTED SPRING
ACCELERATE PERPETUALLY
GASPING PER URGES
AUDACIOUSLY 
MAGGOTS ACCRUE
ON CARCASSES 
EVER FOR MORE
AND FOREVER SPRUNG CEASELESSLY
A SKELETON FETCHES 
FRANTICALLY FOR PRACTICALITY WITHIN ITSELF
AND FERTILISES THEREFROM
EVERYTHING USEFUL ON THE CONTRARY UPON WHICH 
ITS FORM OF FORMER
COULD NEVER HAVE STAYED STILL 
OR AT WHICH IT WOULD HAVE SWUNG
TO AND FRO
AND VICE VERSA HENCE
AS MONKEY’S MIGHT
DESPITE HOW BLOODY
IF ONLY
ENCLOSED IN IMAGINATION IT WERE
TO ENTERTAIN AN ASPIRATION AS SUCH
