Paned windows reverberate
as frosted wind caresses
dim walls, Shrouded in silence,
But arcane quiet is diminished
by that bloated couch that wails
deep within that quaint family crypt,
Gawdy, and consumed by repugnance,
But rooms further
lay painted magenta with lives disturbed
And twisted into mangled decay,
Demarcated by mortal years, burdened,
But spiteful tongues
now only utter their rapturous parables
alone, In confinement earthen,
For best it is to sever rotten roots
to diminish tarnished soil, Generational.
