Griffin Smile

This codex gives meaning to cryptomorphs hanging around
Selling their legacy for pocket change, hocking the future.
Chorus of damage claims uncertainty, reprehensible and wise
Beyond years in verse, successively victorious in deed.

Prattle down the years while sharing a ride back from the demo
In conversation, a thick intimacy, a pall of blue cigarette smoke
Hanging, these shrouding gestures part of covert operations
Between natural allies, a pact of fortunate suggestion indeed.

Hawkers of mythology garner excellent reviews.
Contused by grim reavers sweeping along the shore,
The revel celebrates slash and burn tactics,
Capturing a modest consent.
