#marauders
mischief and such wit moony, wormtail, padfoot, prongs they're the marauders and when the job's done wave your wand and just say this 'mischief managed!' done cleverness present but wasted on breaking rules yet used for the fun

the marauders (haiku)
An army of ants, black, brown, red and white, in disciplined columns, each one no less than any other,armed to the teeth, ready to **** on their marauding march,find this giant, not a day too long ago was too fierce as a man,  whose reign of  terror was most feared, lying still, as if all those deeds were  incidental,and he in no way is to be blamed. They are equanimous, the ants, next wave, this is no more than just debris,  this relic from the past, for them, something to be dealt with, the army of disciplined ants, as per their manual, meticulously inspect, whether the body has some strength  left somewhere in the system, to pull together rise, overcome the fatigue of a life full of misdeeds not nice to remember,  counted all the same as glory by sycophants. They want to finish the work fast, fearing the return of the nightmare, busily they went on doing what they are good at,they had their brief, from the command center ,to clear up the debris from the battle front, The last of the ants leaving  the gnawed white bones,  under moonlight, writes the epitaph on sand,with it's spindly legs,thus:"This fort too fell"

The End Of a Story
12/18/2014 Subartic winds howling down tunnel wind slleys sounding a lot, you know, like us. Smoke plums would climn up past our cupid's bows reaching fo the reaches of dark matter "oh don't worry about me"'s under the sweet toffee light of the cannery black haired boys would smile and we'd spit back more crass the light shining down on our columellas and the trefoils of menthol ginger history now- a boy would take out his lighter and somewhere behind us in the back of town we'd hear the ghost of a christmas Mel Torme song on the terrace of a good cafe.

nights in town
blood rushing into my head painless, but yet burning; white perhaps now i have died a saintly death i will be remembered as a hero not a coward; perhaps now i have died a saintly death i will be worthwhile to remember not worthless perhaps now i have died a saintly death i will be known for my kindness which never existed to cover up what really happened perhaps now i have died a saintly death somebody will cry that they love me instead of me being hated perhaps now i have died a saintly death everything will be better at least death has its own dwellings
