boardroom doors,
circuits open
grey matter hallways
where skeletons
made of lightning
fricassee my synapses

jackboots roundup
****** dahlias deflowered,
their wilted smiles
rainbow
the grass below
with shadows

cowardly dandelions
roar no more,
taken to see the wizard
on yellow brick roads
paved with the
carcasses of braver kin.

soft candlelit glow
writhing shadows on the wall
naked silk and gin

Right now
it's midnight
somewhere else

at noon,
you may see
two hands
clasped together
in prayer.

Me, I see
a *******
hiding behind
a thumb.

i look
at stars
and wonder
if i'm being
shined by
twinkling motes
in the blackened eyes
of cosmic hypocrites...

Echo
midnight secrets
dawn will forget to keep
a mended promise in shadow
on the valley side of ruined zeniths
lament rose petal alpenglow
fading into mourning
sub-rosa sighs
echo.

fury
of the lion:
golden warpath garland
thundering soul set forth by roar
sovereign savanna rex, pride in plain sight
majesty unkempt like his mane
heavy the head that wears
the primal crown...
fury

vision
of the eagle:
corneal coronas
scorch earth from soaring apexes
taloned streaks of lightning tear assunder
the prey of a thousand yard stare
she is a feathered seer
perched in a nest
vision

venom
of the viper:
his husk made of mica
syringed fangs apportion wisdom
slithering past Achilles' heel to heart
from perceptive directions hissed
strait tongues fork in the road
coursing in vein
venom
