Hide of Tyke in Hold

Heartthrob in damsel drag Belief of human bile Completely instilling cascading dregs of mechanical flesh, bones and spit 64th avenue And coiling deft doom Winged balls of bulging blood and speckled steel Merry wails and flutters of moths unsealed Fitted upon falling kneel And reckoned release of rotten roadkill- Rats and babes and brats Congealed candy and sickeningly sweet brandy And hailed light of epiphany to choke, swallow and spit And strangle without a hand nor handle but grit Of groil and crevices of menaces heralding honed notes And a lone liver in fathered infirmary Black backed in breachers Potted a bulge to indulge the fickle maggots of dissociation Emulsification and hearty sniff of Whitened slice and slithers of snow Dregs to drag and hone and throw Up upon bedded saline laden road Of rows and rows and pounds That drag rotten flesh afresh from the hound Sutured from spine to fluttered wing The hide Plucked apart from rat to brat And collared collier stepped afresh with new hide and throw And stubborn stubbled child with a new mind in tow 5//5//2025
