By shelves of my Fathers shed I wept (Free verse) by Caducus
Through a half creosoted door
I left their world ajar.
Noone saw the anvil swallow me
as i painted swastikas on tailfins.
I was born like woodshavings
and Jesus, was sick of that smell.
My Dad was born from dust,
so i swept remnants of balsa
into the light that ended
on his crooked shelves.
I heard the other world
speak kindly yet ill of him,
inaccurate and lazy words
from mouths filled with sandwiches
quartered for good impressions.
In moth dead flicker
I whispered goodbye,
launched the last Henkel
into his garden of strickened bouquets.
I was five again
me again,
and Jesus was the chisel
of my eyes,
his eyes.
Inspired by Paolo Cuehlo
