Piffle (Portentous)
1-20-17

O, piffle foolish and futile
God protect the neighborhood
I loved my corner with intercession
Futile and feebly
Portentous and foreboding
Two feet on the hot coals in Romanticism
A cycle it might be love portent and indication proscribed
As law backed up by the grace
Gustine. where have you been
In a tropical whisper
And dangerous blood for the mob
Within my heart portentous and foreboding
Be my slippery slider to extreme in excess
O, pigeon for peace
Keeping house for thee
For our dear retrospect
In fused Alsatian
Faces that gaze forward
In piffle....

Rolling in the mileage
A matter of choosing to forge it for every mesh
A citadel for every fantasy
A façade our cobweb wove in abundance
Most to my own unease
Delayed in the knowledge
For by it cometh sorrow
Much more than being now justified by his blood
We are saved from wrath where beauty is nature's fact
Just as supernatural as can be
As by one man's sin enter the world and death by such
Back from a far horizon
I bring the gift of Roses
I've cried a well
Swimming an ocean of ostentation
By when we were yet enmity
We were reconciled by the elegy to me
We count the days together
And talk about the weather....
