| © Oliverio Original Title = Swampy Legume And Her Shady Lover |
the Bean and the Shadow
They meet in the Wetlands
where love is easy to grow
But some of her charm
would no longer glow
She swayed ten arms
she was the Shiva Bean
Her Shadow Lover had just
arrived on the scene
Their communion
was not clean
"Your shadow, Dear,
catches my dry side
"Do you have
something to hide?"
"I'd rather cover you
long and wide.
"I know for what, Shiva,
you are wishin'
"But my shadow is
losing its definition
"The doctor said it's
a terminal condition."
"Yet, I still have most arms
and sun-filled weather
"I live and grow right here
amidst this heather
"Birds and undergrowth tickle
me like a feather."
"You're ecologically sound
and I am so much weaker
"I must leave you now
as my heart grows bleaker
"My Shiva Bean, we will always
have Bolsa Chica."
"I am naught but
a swampy legume
"In a vast protected
earthy room
"But our love, now
has reached its doom
"Were I to die, wetland
soil would take notice
"Were your shadow to die,
most would think it bogus."
"Let's hope some plant or bird or
some human will someday quote us."

Shadow is positioned to pluck
ReplyDeleteThe positioning and the shoddiness of the shadow
Deleteled to the downfall of their relationship.
She wanted him to _uck her
but all he could do was pluck her.
