If I were to,
...Lock ruby ridden doors for roach ridden floors bleed without grace
Roused rounded wounds throughout nightly escapes
And gaping fields of endless escapades
And gaping seas my moses blade has wrenc...

The Cold of Fear
...Cold is the tittering of befitted feet
Cold is the meagre meanders of falling fractals
Cold is the twinge of bitter blues upon reeling retreats

Biting the undone assignments lost to the Orby.
Swiftly, it's chased to earth,

Mother Mine
...I see you breathe,
I watch you cry,
I hear you laugh,
Your my mother, mother mine.
I lie,

In the ambulance I was alone, terrified and taken to a room in hospital with flaky walls painted a dull grey

Not That Betsy
...O, do you remember sweet Betsy from Pike?
She trekked ‘cross the prairie in search of a dyke.
She developed incontinence in Illinois;
She was cured of what ailed her by a strange nether boy.

My belly groans,worms meander in haste
once upon a dream packed with love and care a meal I wish
Unfair a reality of a belly inflated not with a dish

The Knight and Beast
...I met a knight.
He liked to fight.
I watched him run from left to right.
He had no fear.
It was here
Where man and Beast could fight and cheer.
A witch!
She caused a twitch.
The knight...
