petty crimes...
petty crimes
of family
can literally
tare apart
giants
as seen
from the outside
in
never let on
to the point
each kingdom
of squabbles
jealousies
hierarchy
in pecking order
may determine
position
in the bread
line up
criminals all
in the suspected
violations
fingers
wage
and point
voices
scream
and yell
legacy
is mine
saith the lord
of the manner
is dead
and gone
buried
burned
scattered
ashes
to ashes
dusty old
ruins
to pick over
perceptions
squandered
in legends
faux fancy
as the attorneys
carcass
the lion's share
all ways
vultures
picking away
at the sinew
worm barers
long after
the last shovel
spilled atop
the grave hole
no doubt
memories
bound
as a leather
gold leaf
embossment
chapter after
chapter
boring interpretations
as are all
petty crimes
of family
