The Shell For A House Of The Flesh Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Shell For A House Of The Flesh

Rating: 5.0


A SHELL hides its flesh
away from the flesh that thrives
on the flesh of others

hard stubborn house that keeps
something so fragile
soft and sweet
not because it keeps all these
wonders
to itself like a narcissus

but because it has the power to destroy
what lies so peaceful

what is placid and innocent
it shall not divulge it shall not devour
