Inheritance
by JCA

I smile at this genetic dowering, passed in wayward bestowal
Dispersed in sudorific dusts of distant, virile savannas
Planted deep in this limbic garden
Where provenance first beguiled

Recondite yet indelible, I consummate its secrets within me
To play upon the craving wrought of Paleolithic ferment
While ineluctable blossoms ascend to beguile
Melding with turbulent waters, to emerge in liquid desire
