Stuck
I am stuck
Stuck here
Like one of those
Now extinct blue butterflies
Pinned through the middle
And hung in the showcase of some
Obscene natural history display
I am stuck
Stuck here
Like a medal pinned
Posthumously to the breast
Of some fallen warrior or hero in No Mans Land
I am stuck
Stuck here
Transfixed and beginning to fray
Compelled to be as still as museum air
Inadvertently providing theatre
For unsuspecting voyeurs

My lips are sealed..
Ahh, ya can't tell me then! lol.
A solemn read, in a sense.
I enjoyed it, Nev.
THank you Nicholas... so what are we gonna call our gang...
Oh, funny, I was thinking about it just now and how about "Osiris"? Cause ya know, that's kinda what started the whole thing. It's either that, or "Lazarus"
An aptitude for taking three little words and using them for mysterious back-up to poetic attraction comes from a talented mind and my friend you have that for sure. - - -
I gotta stop blushing.. my wife reckons I've been spending too long in the sun..... Thanks a million Fay and then some... N x
The sons of Lazarus sounds good to me Nicholas

Good one Neville, we can always find an adhesive remover so that lives can move forward into the good times again.
What a lovely thought.. if only... cheers Goldie sir.... hope you are okay...
I was glued to this from start to finish.
Your last stanza could be the concise version of the second half of my biography.
Very witty my friend... and I am very grateful to you for stopping by.... Neville
They say alcohol is good for unsticking things, but I've tried it and it doesn't work as well as one would think, I got stuck with the tab.
You give us three views from the other side of commonality. Each one raises a question in the mind of the reader. Never can we look at Medals, Museums, or Metamorphosis in the same way. Great write.- Phil A.
You honour me with your visit sir and I am more than grateful for your very kind and encouraging comments.. All Good Things, Neville
