Calcified Tomorrows

calcified tomorrows

 

 

 

falling off the bone

Adam's rib

a love of woman

more wine,

less Fig leaf

 

a nude commodity

in a once lifeless garden

 

spontaneity saw itself in the mirror

the epitome of embarrassment

skin raw from tears of regret

 

tender years of intrusive knowledge

now separate tables

foliage hides the scars

but not the love

 

less wine

more Fig leaf

the woman’s love

an imagined virtue

 

in a decimated paradise

bone dry epitaph

etched on his heart of stone.

so sad....wow! tragic and sad could be read a man's stone heart or the heart of God .. how it may seem to be sometimes :( the fatalism i read in this is wrenching ... and horrifying to think it true .. Eve has swum the river and gone over the mountains aint she?!

When the sap runs dry, it really runs dry. "tender years of intrusive knowledge/ now separate tables". The last verse is beautiful in its grimness. Well done.
