Our cage both necessary and hidden
Outside our awareness for the most part
Though hidden within

White walls we see through so clear
Gaining our perception satellite organs
Little tendril messages

Consciousness’ bunker and barrier
Throne of life’s control center
Yet symbol of death

Grinning mask of Death’s Head
The ossuary our face serves as
Skull beneath the skin

and beneath the skull

oft lies a brain

that lies to us

through tender tendrils

tennis anyone?

Love

a bit contrived, expected, but still fived

cause I had some fun

(gives something for people to complain about, eh?)
