Pelting the ground with freezing rain

Others like to bend 'em,
Feeling like it's only fools

...Interconnectedness 
Life with all its twisted 
Train wrecks
Contorted metal
grappled around
steel, disfigurement.

Premium Member BUSHMILLS IN BUS STATION

Centre-parted with furrow crown to fore, 
Perfectly placed and kept in position

Men and Marriage

Some got a pathological need,
a dirty obsession for that coffin wallpaper
They wrapped themselves in the black widow veil
