Unearthed

unearthed the underneath 

of retired and tiring bodies

in decay and repose

exhumed the exhaust

of passing past 

in layers of the dust

in rust a tumor toils

upon the nails 

the timeless plague of boils

to shatter shards

below flower yards

for feisty feasting roots

your sanity lost

rolled away the marbled globe

and what your thoughts may cost

here's hoping it went unused

at least from where it was found

in the front lawn's ground

for swingers

that is of a small white ball

don't make good neighbors at all
