slanderous silk sac
shaved and crushed
work of olden theways
when metacarpal tightens
look for mandible to snap
strawdawg sippin’ smoothie
******* hithemark
when love is all yousee
war is what youneed
to even keel, your crook’d beam

briney merl
incessant swirl
stix tite
smell of salts
yawn a sigh
fear makes you tired
anticipation wired
mind flashes past
appreciate what could not last
a mortal thump
a mental jump
the futures here
enemy near
no time to think, react
you hear the sound of attack
the thing you do without regret
you hope one day to forget
ah to be on a previous page
when youth demanded that i age

down by the brum dimwiddy

where we got all giddy

sat the massive planq

with god awful stank



her shimmy playzit soloose

situation diffuse

we beg fumdilly

witout seeming chilly



she unfastened minert

couldi squirt

undoubted nixnot

from within it shot



hrmfff okydoke

andwe smoke

calf’s eyes sparkle
it’s mothers are dull
repetition kills joy

we are not stewards of Earth, she looks after us

with cancer
the body outlasts
the patience

tree spikes upright
paint the clouds into the sky
from a bed of needles
woods whisper a truth
I’m reluctant to remember
