Mothers Udder
& Fathers Axe
She broached the Forest
sporting a Red Velvet Cap

there to greet the Wolves
there to croon with the pack
Lunar Wane & Lunar Wax
left to litter
is her Velvet Red Cap

she flinched over one shoulder
but furnish a reason
that she'd ever return ?
why become a tracker
of your very own tracks ?
why leave a life of abuse
only to scuttle right back ?
Gone to Inhabit the Forest
one Little Red Cap

at a bend in the night
(early in your sleep program)
our vermin stained rancor
batters its ****** limbs
upon your double glazed windows

we kick a thistling up your vents
putting 'the ghoul' up your lightly clothed backs
and disrupting your 'conditioned' environment

scattering the lawn toys
our demented energy
aggressively makes collage
the muted spirit
of your suburbs

all of your 'homeware'
ignites nothing true
just taking options out
on your own life packaging

our baying notes
our rapid chatter
reminds the family homes
that they are only snug for now
for they remain subject to nature
and due reprimand

our message :  
conclude evacuate
and leave ruin

furrows

branches bare,
as roots upturned

what is there to worship
and wooze upon
when everything
is so perishable
so restock-able
adjustable
and copious ?

Secure No Bounty
a boundless life
great for nothing
bond free of suffering

I call for Blood Design
  escape ; the **** way
unfurious Spirit
  and energetic push
accelerating
  to ****** a Lance
    through the Workings of it all
Spoil the Big Idea
  the Swelling
be the Pesky Anomaly
  that Unclips the Scientists
    from their God Peg
Leave a Haunting Stain
  on the Fresh Lab Coat
altered version of previous

burn all the study notes
smash the greenhouse windows
destroy the lab equipment
and flood the basement storage

shell anything personal
shuck any valuables
abandon this invested waste
become unpossessed
unburdenable
unpossessioned

you think your heart is broken ?
her token is silt in memory
take it to the streets at night
sully it thoroughly
and file off the organs remaining operations
make it un-abusable
and option-less

what about your face ?
bleed away
you recognize nothing
bleed actual jail from your eyes
and crawl from the fight that mauled you
claim your part in the background
a pant of the great huffin'
lose yourself in the noise
the trade
the interference
the indifference

find
you're a vile version
and drag this edition
to it's rotten point
the lowest style of limb
where you needn't fend
where you are securely unmended

a gentleman approaches...
- PEDDLE YOUR WORTH
  AFORE IT IS TAKEN ?

you peer from pinhole
- THANK YOU ; I AM DONE

he looks 'the you' over
- RIGHT YOU ARE

you pass the city border
beyond the last streetlight
you have earned ghost
now you may be of some use
now 'you' are not
