Immodest Proposal
Shamefaced oscillation, backed against the wall
Internal segmentation, filtered through the shadows
Cascading billets housing the troops
Steps dissipating from the hillside
A garden of flowers breaks through the mundane
Dramatically degenerating the disempowered
Speak to me with loyal passion
About your days in the west
How vigor sprung like firecrackers
On the porch swing, her parents watching
Looking for disapproval
Lingering ghosts of the past
Changing conceptions, profitless attempts
Disputed and contested as they were
Without the confidence and sense
Antiquated and worn out
Many times spun with illusion
Resurfacing between influence and greater
Morphing from tart to most admired
Mythical past crafted into legend
