Gimlet dawn; a greyful mist
In it the triplet lambs
Gleam as clean as oblivion
Silencing the torpor
Of my egress
Into jailed sapience

Life has ringlets
I have a retirement

I hear her whining
A tiny stab - Oh! The verve
Of that mosquito

Who munked the chip?
Fleeced the geese?
Assembled the donk
And gave him a key?

Modernity has taken
Words out of screw
They'll censor cock
But not cock-a-too

Grief's paroxysms
In chitnous garb
Queen Wasp rages
Against the aerosol God
Curled exquisitely
Stinging her heart -
Even when trod in half

Wanton Spring; languorous
In green
Uncombed in bloom
A libertine
Grape-drunk on viridian
And dancing

I lie side by side with it ...

A haze of ducklings
Butter yellow; daddy drake near
Sun to eight wee moons

Emitting smoke and stale
Hissing words, you angry
Campfire
Nicotine vampire

Your racking cough embellished
In the dank
I'm digging myself out of your rheumy air
Your molehill of ash

Behind you, a
Jonestown gently sighs. The parrots caw forlorn.
In your hand, a grey worm

Mordant wind; it mocks
My whites and towels on the line
Sweater scented grass

Law Office -

Idiot radio; black case a caul
Guts flashing within. It squawks
The gritty classics, idly gnawing
At my tubes, my nerves - it's static burst

Hurts! Oh the florescents
Gild nothing. Much less reveal
There is
No element here
but mercury's glare

A woman feels her scarlet
Letter
It's gory and wet
The moment he rolls her
Throws her
Like a pillow pet
She's watching from above
Though
She's her own spectator, at best
Is it love? Is it Hub?
It's a sideshow of flesh

I woke up
In World
Where everyone
Was made of glass

Yet and still
We fall to tribes
With walls
No one can pass

Even though
We look alike…
Still find pretext
To #clash

Does sapience
Doom us to
Nitpick
Until we crash?
