The Urge Will Fade

Nicholas Browning

 

Inside whichever hollow crevice, bare of fruit in pyrrhic strife -
Concluded to wither out, as if hastening on.
You must devour, encumbered by your masque.
Do not fret, our somber - dour; extemporary fledge -
The Urge shall arrive and after, pass.

 

Ichor, sodium, cinnabar paste atop an opulent display,
Feeding many of a kind in more ways than one.
That there is a mountain, simmering in bone,
Made out as: "Tiny foretelling", a harbinger of what's to come.

 

To "Hope" is a bitter concept, yet "Hope" is frailer still.
Naming home the place that your prior beliefs had forbade:
Relish in savory blubber - the urge;
In due course, will wane.

      A bit cryptic for (uncultured?) me, but a good write.
      Meanwhile - oohh, if I hear of an 'urge' I feel a swoon coming on! heehee.
