Waters embracing,
foam screen draught.

Reflecting galaxies,
shadows, cloud craft.

Nebulas surround,
brush colours palette.

Rainbow mirage,
imbibe histories ballot.

Heated cheese, gooey head
as screams writhing.
Voices cackle, sense long fled,
nails board scrape, fleece,
dry scything.

Metal taste in jaw arriving
of sharp magma lead.
World is bent as pitch striving,
hot, red muddle increase,
coals spread.

Head beating as jaw swoons,
vice builds steel grip.
Confusion by drugs flail moon,
as soprano screeches piece,
tune shred.

Sauce pan cooks on shoulder,
steam heats, thriving.
As ventures across my left ear,
in fingers of molten grease,
pile driving
Awful tooth ache currently

Sky joins,
kisses the ground,
toward the West,
embers glow, burn.

A bonfire crackling
of deep orange churns.
Sits upon a kindling
of cotton candy cloud.

Burnt, the remaining
oxygen of daylight.

Escaping the flames,
sky facing frosts, cools.

Long, thin, ice floes
escape, as born in
walls of glaciers.

Frozen visions in
lilac, soft pink and
etched in violet.

Snow grey and
musk.

Horizon in a blink,
a sketch shaded,
in breaths.

Before eve
sweeps the vista
with a cloak of
stardust.

Papers leafed from
tan leather seats.

Decorative ceiling
gently illuminated.

Accounting alterations
create a vast paper profit.

II

Above old newspapers an
illegal sign requests money.

Morning sky clear,
temperature freezing.

Alcove lined
with cardboard boxes.

III

Separated by
two stories of building.

By years of strata,
history and fortune.

Respective felonies only
meet in glass shadows.

Design behind cast
find nature undefined,
fools, life and death,
rules left behind.

Nothing is as seems
Bluffing as cover hand,
cards past chance,
shards truth lined.

Rules following blindly
jewels miss then within,
stressed is world
best know random.

Random know best
world is stressed
within, then miss jewels
blindly following rules.

Lined truth, shards
chance, past cards.
Hand cover as bluffing
seems, as is nothing.

Behind, left rules
death and life fools.
Undefined nature find
cast behind, design
A palindrome - words reversed from first three paragraphs

Ideas, a thought bubble,
constrained by a colourful
umbrella of canvas.

The inflatable was running
out of gas, chased by a
speedboat across a bay.

Leaving far behind
banks, stability and
vivid colours onshore.

Once people jumped off,
the purple banking balloon
was able to float ashore.

Remaining no wiser.
Leaving hot air, wet clothes
and the cast aside at sea.

Phones are bleeping,
as bell rings, gone age before.

Emails hit with bing,
as inbox sings, challenge raw.

People are hurrying,
as stride heavy, upon corridor.

Cars angry blaring,
as daze cast, expletives roar.

My space is glaring,
as corner table, trees restore.

Home foreswearing,
as serenity rules, office four.
At last it is quiet in the Office
