An Abundance of Absurdities


wikipaintings.org
Hieronymus Bosch
The Concert in the Egg



we make do with what we find

chipping away to gain purchase

ethereal laughter always taking root

from the inside first

tending to flocks

adorned in their own absurdities

their song 

one on my own making

imprinted before the first crack was sighted

i lead only because i cannot follow

  1. what a strong last line...
    some were meant to lead and nothing will stop that....
    the ethereal laughter taking root inside first..
    a nice truth in that...
