4 Swords

4 sullen swords 
4 truncated tombs
4 comatose clocks
4 querulous quatrains

We of the Absurd
We of the Timed Out
We of the Checked Out
We of the Hanged

our candle-like Keywords
wax and wane UPRIGHT
cough up the REVERSED card
confined in blunted light

enter the Knight of Keyboards
spiritless warrior
brandishing weeping sword
time for The Rest

Ice Rock Cometh

Behold & beware…
green comet 
sails through
cadaverous darkness
on its journey through 
Sol’s neighborhood

Gaia’s parasites
blink at
the luminous 
icy rock
   (they are
   pummeled by 
   shocking storms
   & plagued with stormy 
   delusions)

It’s official:
humankind is
on the glowing rocks
  (obviously a major malfunction)
dodging more shoes 
 dropping like

Storms Happen

storms happen
happenstance stomps
selfish selfies inherit the wind
windmills become grist for the mill

Armageddon trending now
Utopia is Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day
go figure (& lie about the figures)
too many figurative flies in the proverbial soup

words float like moths to the factoid
sting like a bumbling bezoar
fly like a flock of birdbrains
put that in your pipe & tweet it

June's Cosmic Parade

°*•***•***•*°*°*•***•*°*°*•***•*°

June’s dreams
you’re the guide
"meet & greet" 
the ecliptic zoo
a must-see!

a new five worldless day
goes on parade
these planets never stand still
click on Mars to tune up
see Mars square Pluto
as it crawls through Capricorn

truth freedom and that
need to capture the planet
of love we had
pay attention to retrograding
Mercury will be found

become mythology 
find your inner mama bear
June is

Summer Solstice Is Coming

given a double whammy
they wanted to double down
on double talk
   in the 
torrid gust

the summer solstice 
   its sundry insectile eyes
   seething with sultry scorn
in this weather channeled
   source of telegenic storms

seasonal shifts are
  lost in translation
poisoned neural flowers
  the root of 
rotting neurosis
