The Bitter Bites

 

The Dollops of puerile dalliance

 

Soon topple by life’s deceit.

 

They stew until decrepit,

 

Oblique to the bleak

 

Transient tastes of Destruction-

 

It Needles and Spoons the Weak.

 

The Sophic scents scintillate those

 

Souls searing in their innocence,

 

Sizzling inside the casserole-

 

Cumbrous coffins inside creation

 

Where the Joy of Life was sapped

 

Slapped, vaporized and forgotten.

 

Overlooked and overcooked-

 

They evaporate into the air

 

Where the Master Chef

 

Collects the remnants

 

To modify and make tasteful

 

Transforming a spirit into

 

the morsels of a new recipe.
