air deleted from the room
vacuum    of  mausoleum  silence
violence played quiver on your lips
lids  of  eyes      made twitches
itchiness blazed over my skin
thin words introduced
' i   hate   you '
mournful
cold said   hurt true



ALLITERATION VERSION :



air
drawn deep
deleted from the room
vacuum                            
          vacancy for silence
   violence volunteers corrugations
           across your visage
triage                    
composure
betraying twitches
itches blaze over my skin
thin words induced
' i   hate   you'
mournful
cold said   hurt true
brevity homework

scurry
out of its' tree
a squirrel in the rain
runs low                      
                  just like a rat
cuts across the concrete
manic for something
out of its tree
scurry

summer sky aloft
a massive cloud bank disbands
      lacing into gills
wind huffs make spastic punches
cooling my agitation

Even urgency
resists the urge
of plea.

Inuit art
framed in medical waiting rooms
famined behind glass
wronged chime



the grazing eye passes through the greed of it
little need
with such clement weather



Stretch out those eagar linkers
and read those signals
        you were nursed to read



being tactile
induce swelling
and poke at holes



There is no dignity
and we look ridiculous
        within its service



share a meal of teeth
family of whitened grins, laughs and interdependent stares
a formula
for props and catalogue



Cash in my reflection
at retail it'll fetch its metal

he said 'wedlock' anti-amorous lead clocked signing them contracted away from their grieving animal truths boothed in a partner grip that'll mend them toward social safety

so the micro invisiblility
of the nuance crys for
a true revelation of the unknown

deviancies body my perspective
mangy deceit by perception
whim the world an alibi
blue of a threading
jest passing true
mastering a

nipped

You suit my ruin
fellow me and we'll each please the other
scuffing lovers
we'll sputter and prune
