Which crunch clenches tight, imposing its poisonous pain.

Aberrant darkness, hideous and unseen.
Raging killer, seething; hardly breathing.

Searching for the weakest link,
The source of consternation;

Seeking out the places where you need to make improvement.

Lighting the sky with invectives
Of white-blue light terrible.

The rains carp the submissive
Ground wearing it so slowly
Down into curves, mud.

Brandished on the grand soccer stage
Rush Russian bear invectives to decant
Insanity and indignity rolled into ribald rage.
