Lugubrum

Robust Shades of Brown

Lugubrum


I repose eagerly 
The bloated digester 
Beneath the turban 
Thrall to tepid thoughts 

In the thick leaden smoke 
the richest of visions 
tastes of power 
forged formlessly 
in twilight timbre 

Straight from the plantation 
robust shades of brown 
are puffed before my eyes 
I don the ghostly robe and crown 
and charm the wriggling tar
