O pting cooked - will take it raw,
W anting to stop this nagging gnaw.

A DAMSEL ENCHANTS FELICITY
Aurora breaks,
Cinderella damsel enchants felicity,
gliding halcyon--
implanting jazzy kisses,
languorous murmurs. . .
Nectared opulent press
quakes reactions.
Succulent tissues urge
virginal wanting: xerothermic,
yearning zenith!
_____________________________________________________________________
*** xerothermic -- adapted to or flourishing to environment that is hot and dry
halcyon -- care -free

R- esting so beautiful among the flower beds
0- bject of man's devotions
S- ending your message of beauty to all
E- ndearing, among them you're the best
I- n a colorful display your bearded face
R- anting to the Sun, all day and night
I- ntroverted you bow to the ground but
S- till in your grace you kiss the Sun
M- iracle dressed up in yellow,oranges
A- dding to your presence more warmth
R- adiating such a beauty under the Sun
I- nviting within your petals light
G- oing around in circles,endless
O- bvious to my eyes,you're having fun
L- ayers of softness,so ilusive you are
D- ancing away under the magic of the Sun.

Metallic city howls like a wounded animal
scraped by nocturnal vigils
of grandchildren and elders
emaciated like tuberculosis lungs
gasping from chug-chugs of tobacco soot...
and the face of a night is hammered by
ripped moans like plucked strings in motel rooms;
pagan women opening limbs for a meal in silent fury.
This is the other side of town, so real...
beggars peddling hope; factory shoulders
ranting over shuffled cards and fired gin
as wives’ blistered fingers
clean rented pots, gibbering same monotone of hymn,
“give us daily bread, daily bread”.
Outside, the pier coughs off
the commercial honks of weighed cargo
reeked with labor’s perspiration,
where pawnshops buzz with greed's snicker...
the evening owl attempts winks
under the grime of bloodied moon…
it spits the larynx of tenants’ raged hoots
wishing morsels of fresh sunset
would pour some grace of life’s salve. I weep
before the shrill of red sets in... again.
