Curios

Curios
Mine is mine and to each their own
so whom are we to pass judgement
One’s choices predicated upon
by how you my dear individual perceive
Reapers, the purveyors of goods grim
honouring both dollar and ritual
But just because you can
does it mean you should indulge the macabre
Incendiary with a highly volatile fuse
fostering unspoken mortification
Done from love by loss
as inherently personal as love’s little death
Memories tactile, both taking away
and in embracing the pain
Open wide to holding up a mirror
reflection upon your hurting self
Morbid, magnificent, maudlin, majestic
what else could be said of selections such
Each and every with their unique curio
memory memorabilia a curious thing
Nature ‘tis of we mournful beasts
displaying in so many ways
Turning cheek, both other and off if you please
my crass, your cats ass
One tap, two tap, three, forever remains in me
