Four Monokus Protrusion of Eyes and Neck

grievance of sordid hourglass, ears prickling
                                       — eyes creep aloft creepy mask

his contrition false
                     — skin crawls as if consuming hallucinogens

bad enough, silencing of wrinkled smiles
                                     — the time bomb tic-tic-tic boom

stocks made for buffoons
                    — turkey neck gobbled up progenitor’s gravy

This has been written by someone who has been horribly burned. "his contrition false — skin crawls as if consuming hallucinogens"

I like the second one. Sometimes a person will say they are sorry when repentance is far from them. Enjoyed reading today. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara
