Nightly Tempest's Spirit Wind

The corpse
in the copse
grows more beautiful
every day
Shows you're dutiful
GRACE IN NATURE
Leaf
Underneath
and it
grows lighter
glows brighter

Torching savagery
this amber gift festoons its
WAKING SLUMBER

Firing for the trailed beast
:
Choiring the veiled deceased

It's a stark eye possessed by a black
(bird that crows)
As it falls from the alms of a loved
(one who throws)
Their strained limbs to grass estuaries
chequered and checked
Expectantly transporting the
deckered and decked

SHOULD HAVE HEARD (HERD)
SHOULD HAVE SEEN (SEA'N)

Should have heard
the crack, the cry
the breaking, burning, flailing sigh

Should have seen
you crossed by fate
A benchmark senior to slate

As over pastures where flowers bleed
Anonymous Andrew signs :
"TEK HIIID !"

House 4 spiders : Spouse 2 flies

And all your pickled, paper lies
't wood stick twigs
And a silken, sunken parasite

Tomb strewn : Fauna trauma

Where did they come from these
(elders at ease)
Who leisurely wander to sup
(up cream teas) ?

They stalk past the giant
they've reckoned as wrecked
Saluting the cold holed path
beckoned and becked

To other-weathered prize skies
the
CATERPILLARS
are
COLOUR SPILLERS
In flight : Ignite
Fight a (fighter) site

For the hounding double blessings
Tried and tired, tolerating tides
Which wash salt water accidents
You see without
PARALYSED : OMNISCIENCE
Like a wrench in your roots
Observe - the creak in the door
:
Shows - the tweak in the floor

WE CELEBRATE
YEW RESINATE

And praise a body lordly twinned
By Nightly Tempest's Spirit Wind
