This poem was influenced by Edgar Allen Poe's "The Conqueror Worm". I've loved Poe's work ever since junior high.
Heaped upon the ice flow proper
A less than stellar bulb
And windowless within its nest
The satin island bilge
Alas! Alas! Catastrophe!
Collecting copper coins
Conducting with a wooden spoon
My symphony of toys
You may wonder, on one hand
Poking at the coals
Fearing less the lamang-lupa
Mining more the nose
