#lipogram
at every moment
there came a pause beneath the glass
as the cold passed through us
and the wheels rolled on
and the oxygen around us moved slowly
and we were safe
or at least that's how the day felt
warm and soft
a comfort to my scrambled, savage soul
as deep down below me
the beast
(the road)
was defeated
guess the world just seems to me
a place that needs to be defeated
every so often
guess the same could refer to me
now, that's a thought

common crowds hold swords
to mock
to frown
to opt for blood
crowds who forgot to stop
now bow to show worth
low fog rolls
cross for old cohorts
who troop
who follow
who go forth to drown
for most worlds
to toss
to hold
to bowl down
sons who droop
crowds do not know
who took stock
sons do not know
who to block
for words do drown
now worlds do brown
only to look lost

freckle lined and hued with pink
angled gently in a curved facade
red, curled and pillowed
over her face and around
her ear.
coppered brown flick her
eye and eye and eye
trickle down, find
the bridge and there
***** of inhalation.
the arch of hair
lead over her forehead
blank in between
pointing downward to end
at the tip of her lip.
a lip turned coral
by the line of blood
traveled continually
hill to hill to hill.
her ear linked to the
gentle flaked cover
of her body.
word after word
floating from her throat
murmured into heartache
of an adrift lover.
marking her cheek up
and down
placed darkly
and with magic.

Going down a rabbit's hollow
Past a stinking burning bush
Such a sour pill to swallow
Moral living lacks a push
Poison's going to **** us all
Not our body – just our mind
Maintain your brain in alcohol
Alas your Savior now is blind
Follow, fail and fall or finish
Hold your favour stay your path
If you sink, your soul diminish
Your own spirit finds your wrath
Failing at communication
Builds up your immunity
Holding faith to show causation
Spouting with impunity

A lipogram I cry aloud,
My first in fact, I’m slightly proud,
To all who know of what I drawl,
I post it now upon my wall.
This task is tough and trying though,
Only using A, I, U and O.
Two-thirds of words do not apply,
And now I think you might grasp why.
I’ll stop my scrawling so you can wallow,
On how this lipogram is so hard to swallow.
And until I think of a good part two,
I’ll sanction additional scribing to you.

See the depressed deed
Delve deep
Cry, the elegy's creed.
Elsewhere:
Breeds new
Bzz-bees, elm trees, electric eels
Ever-steel freeze
Sweet revenge's creep, then screech
Wed, cheer, speech
Fresh breeze, meets seeds
Frees weeds.
Here:
Wet cheeks, we weep
Regret seeps
Need jeers.
Yes, we bleed
Yet
Every eye never sees
Every remedy. never felt
By the helpless.

Letters touch the soul, steel peels her core.
She bleeds, bleeds red. The blood seeps to
gore. Her eyes–lost clouds, pressed deep blue.
She secures her touch, feels the rotted hole.
Buh du buh du buh du bu;
the world's crust creeps to closed port.
The sole body left, the body left the soul
the bullet rests her chest
forever.

Greatness tames one's mess,
as ants roam star streams on
pomegranates.
Grass as green as
poems tease moments on pen.
Moms greet strangers
as poets greet stress.
Tea stamps proper postage
on one man's tan.
Streets sang songs to rage among–
some ego-popes
as a goat pops grapes to
grant taste to oats.
Mottos groan more
names on stones.
A gate opens
to an orange pane as
a message to map tears
on paper tapes.
