The Ripper Apr 2016
Dare you trek into my void;
VVhere {{ vvolves }} strip you bare
of your programming?

Trace the lines of your art;
vvith a svvord of vvords,
to find the breaking point
of your nouns.
The Ripper Apr 2016
Part me like a Christian sea
resect the vvorst of me
extend my breath
these vvords
to speak
to spill
to see
this modern day Job
I vvrithe under
your knife

The Ripper Apr 2016
Ruler vvith the eyes
  the sun grovvs older
    over our shoulders

      leaving behind
        vvords of indignation?

          Then bring on the sorcery!

              discover the roots
                vvhere there's no vvater
                   sand parched sockets

                     harder becomes softer
                        pockets become coffins
                           light is no longer
The Ripper Oct 2016
I've hollovved out a hallovv realm;
vvhere only boneships sail,
vvielding verbs of vengeance;
My vvords float on flesh.
Searing eyes & stripping life;
A dark Knight sheds light as if death,
Such a delicious julienne of humanity;
I am
The Ripper.

vvith help from a spit of liquor

gravitates ‘round the pyre, gulps
until highxr the flicker
inside her—oops!

must be supernxtural forces
twxsting these vowels into xxxx’s,
transversing her verses
into hexes—

slurrxng,
she hastens,
crossing her vvords

& mayhem unfolds from their nexus
vvhite vvitch vvasted

can you imagine the spells a drunk witch might cast? the chaos that that would cause!

— The End —
