Lazy Drugs in Nature

Floral fauna

Do not weep for me

Let the trees sleep this time

to let the roses bleed

on top of lady bugs who will fly off worried

to attack the others,

The lazy drugs are for expressing 

Pain to distant lovers when they 

Call on them to reconnect or

Dial in distant memories,

 

Floral fauna

If we are to be made fish 

Why not piranha? 

We can eat the numbed out hearts of the living 

To better nourish our swimming instincts

To trek to some great cove...

be forgotten from ourselves to our souls

to keep warm,

 

I've seen this once before

When I was set in the art of deception,

The little life lessons taught me 

To always be expecting more 

When less has yet to deliver it's best,

Keep me guessing if that's the key

To unlocking our divinity,

I'll learn with seasons until old bones

Break under pressure from those tomes

That give me hope and comforts,

 

Lay with me awhile and watch me sleep

Until those lazy drugs have worn off,

Who's to say when the daybed populi break off

Into night sweats?

I'll bet it comes early.
