At my grandmother's aging sight (Free verse) by vulcan
Something dreadfully goes wrong with me
When my grandmother I see
In her ancient rocking chair
Sitting sound still.
I feel sick,I grow old,I hear the sound
Of giggling snowmen scattered all around.
I imagine I behold a skeleton disguised
False hair,false teeth
Kiss-worn lips
Pregnant of no smile.
I feel my eyes then travel backward
To 14th century frescos
That with excessive look
Turn you to a marble-spirited statue.
At the end of the show I wish the world
Had a head I could break with a bang!
Then midst the earth's heap
Hid my sight and song
Under a pterodactyl's patting wing.
