Preserves for the basement (Poe Poetry) (Ode) by Bachus
The dry scrape of fragile Fall leaves at the door.
A see through ceiling that part times as a floor.
Sunlit slits with dust that dare to forever float.
The sound of heavy chains, then a far off Tug-boat.
Wolf spiders, and ghosts, awash in layers of mildew.
An echoless darkness, and things better left untrue.
The smell of the Ocean, and a sump-pump that has quit.
An axe in the corner, with a spin-wheel to sharpen it.
100 perfectly lined bottles of Jam upon a shelf
A 100 years have passed since that December 12th.
But if you look again friend, and look up real close.
Enough to see through the dust & touch it to your nose.
You will see that these preserves are made of no berry.
There is something else in there, red, hairy & scary.
It looks like sad lips with a mustache trimmed blunt?
'fore a skull in the corner says "That's my jellycunt".
