In the shed
Down in the shed, dead organic matter
in every direction maybe if
i picked it up and lumped it all together
it would form something in the size of a football.
It's in the air and in the dust,
you're breathing it in,
dried out, skeletal spider bodies
the deceased children of Prometheus.
It's a morbid sight, even evil to the eye
but don't be fooled; nothing here either lives or hungers
nothing here is love, and nothing is hate
All is the indication of a hopeless fate.
Everything in here bears witness of a time that was
The shovel leaning on the wall
maybe it's in glued stuck in some way
however how, I don't want to speculate.
The shelves standing are rotten down to the bone,
but I wouldn't try moving them
to uncover whatever grave abomination
that lives down below.
