raze (after fun_with_automatic_transcription)

tendrils of frost tell me
nothing more will flower here.
and while i have no flight feathers
to carry me to a warmer climate,
there's this stiffness
in the back of my neck.
see,
my head's been screwed
on wrong this whole time.
my eyes
and nose
and mouth
grew out of the occipital bone,
but the apex of my lower jaw
was left behind
in the rush to adapt,
and now it speaks to me
the only way it knows how.

epitome of incomprehensibility *Applause* You've turned my (and YuJa's) silliness into strangely meditative poetry! Plus, I had to look up "occipital bone" (back of the skull, I see). 220111
...
raze i only knew what the occipital bone was because of a medical report i had to refer to in a submission for a lawyer once upon a time. the things you learn, and the places you learn them!

(and i'm loving the thread you started on that blathe. so much comic gold. a little bit of inspiration perspiration rubbed off on me, and i had to run with it.)
