I got crucified,
in shadows
all around,
then I fled.
You defiled
the grounds
of the Crown
with yappy hounds
as I sowed.
I'll versify
blood flow
of the bounds
living & dead,
I'll justify
the spinning around
of hollering
and the sounds
tree branch snaps
out oozes the sap.
You diversified
and I got burned,
can't be entertained,
since the log was hurled,
since the tree was whirled
one swoop of your axe,
wraps bluest of laces
and sweetest perfume scent.

You said, if I burned it down....
the ghosts inside you would drown.
The good of you was no trophy,
but you saw that of it in me.

I lit up that house in gasoline,
was it a crumbling routine,
to only move on from a perch,
a freezing soul that's submerged?

If my sign's fading, will yours glow
on to the wings of a stirring of crow
about to die head-first into the soil,
and time forgets such broth and boil....
