Inheridance

Uranus didn’t like his kids, passed that onto Saturn

Fathers give sons unwanted boons; cruel cosmic pattern.

Life is a spear, long hard and kills you

Life is a short walk to the graveyard you’ll go to

Life ceaseless self-crewing cruise

Life palimpsest of successive bruise

Life endearing mystery, quest for goldsouled alchemy

Life like lock or key, life preamble preparatory

Incising life who bears all veins, suturing life reparatory

Life regracing learned decadence

Retracing start time vectorous dodecadance

Which roused eventless inaction to omnichance

Life a tale of sinking wicks and aromatic tallow

Life a box to tick, life the Paris arrow

Life the river’s fluttering tongue, its rapids, hids, and narrows

Life downward slope to motorways sped toward in rusty barrows.

Sure as Catherine’s cakes corrupt to cattern

A swaddled lith in the belly of Saturn.
