Moss Grown Pot

An earthen pot

Lay off the coast

Of all the waves

The eyes of it's creator make

Assumed itself forgot.


In the wake of blossoming moss

She blushes green

Decorated like a bride to be

Life had become cozy 

It's form never hardened

And heart never scorched 


But on a rainy day

With no proper clay to play 

With, the waves leapt 

To the soft sleeping vase


Spun around from slumber

Her blanket of moss asunder

The creator put the cold metal 

To scrape off her summer 

And with it a part of her


She was brilliantly plain again

The greens gone with her skin

Before she understood the wheel

Below her or the bare wind upon her


In the worst of her fears

Placed in a fevered chamber

The heat didn't let up

For her to even weep

all of her blackened

turned to something vacant


She sat until the fever broke

She found herself forget

How to love the greens

Her heart now inwards

She found their roots offensive


in her weak tender nooks

they'd supped on her very being

decayed her with care not deigned 

on her life, oh i would have died a child

she declared and nothing ever grew upon her


The mosses and the mudpot 

wondered how selfish the other are

for no tenderness she had 

for them to visit her upon

and no might the mosses had

to grow tall till their spines equal 


seeds sown together 

bent away like apples and oranges

each their own Caesar 

stabbed away by their Brutus.
