Underbelly

These Onto These

Eat, sleep, sleep, sleep
One winter day, pilfering peace
Off snowcapped trees
Water dripping onto me
Onto these
Onto these

Tomorrow called about the leak
I gotta remember to call to speak
With my mourning self
Grief unreachable, pH strip to measure
What I inherited

Blessed vessel, fit for embellishments
Blessed vessel, sip from it
Answer it, call it yours
Take it in, learn from it
Trust you can live with it
