It's a Wrap

it's a wrap 

frankincense, cedar, myrrh and 

linens with

tincture of anger

Mercurochrome teeth to clean with

salmagundi of blame and defense

like rancid flax and floss

spiteful salt skin scrubbing

its like ...................... grass blade finger cut , 

paper  thin-sliced meat .......and

incubated

coming to roost ........ digging to root

eggs of malcontent

murdering heart and soul

               another heated spoonful 

                                                    bite down         

brown dope

..............................................brown paper bag

a suicide.                      a

murder suicide

of the heart 

and soul.

but  don't mind me;

................................i don't know my neighbor

i barely know myself.

Such vivid imagery, dear E. The mercurochrome teeth we bare, the salt we scrub on bleeding wounds, grass blade finger cuts and the eggs of malcontent and mal-intent we lay in them and watch those maggots of death hatch and spurt through.

Do we do all this to things and people most precious? Yes, we do. Are we so evil and vile...perhaps yes or perhaps no...Perhaps, as you said, we are just lost....

I enjoyed and loved this read.

It’s always a pleasure, dear E. Loved this write. 🤗

dear E... do we own our Spirit... that is the question... to be or not to be... our Spirit surely lives on. I rather feel that our Spirit is part of a Celestrial combination of mysteries.
Life is meant to be cherished ... we are not an appointed Court where Judgements are made.
We are intricately created with a Spirit that lives and breathes eternal favors. truly, Pat

:) i'm not sure if you like this one or not?? either way .. i agree with your reactions ... and especially the question .. do we own our own spirits ... full of mystery and sacred responsibility ... really appreciate how you hone in on Courts and Judgements ... so easy to fall into ... not very enriching ... sometimes i think if we could as one .. just stop our thoughts for the briefest of moments and listen ... such a connection must be Divine eh!? this is a bit of a dark one ... but you scooped up the Light in it didn't you?! ;))

Yes🌈 I scooped up the light. So much damage has been done in such a short time. My Spirit is enriched with Prayer.
