Mucked Up Moon

Erroneous mirror scatters his face
        Mills his skin into thin porous powder
        Muck which gets stuck under tongue in a paste
        Mouth stuffed with rubble cement rancid sour


       Embalmed motorbike tennage champion 
       Mist cobwebs in his chest, windless clothesline
       Murdered dreams dumped, tight vertibre cramp them
       Measure of failure in winnings' decline 
       
       
       Engine never to rev segments ego
       Mourning whip lashes languish in his lungs
       Molten moon drips millions he forgoes
       Mortality unknown among airborne young
       

       Moonbeam diamonds stall, star status dements
       Ebb of ignition rides midnight lament 


      

               Sixteen year old Hero, Matty
