Premium Member Flaunting of the Flautist

O blame it on cruciferous.
   The playing most muciferous.
        Those florets of broc
          portend a great shock.
The flaunt of the toot odoriferous.

We Need To Eat

we need to eat veggies
cruciferous cabbage cauliflower
brocoli brussel sprouts
collards kale kohlrabi
cancer away
we need to excrete then
anger wrath hatred
jealousy judgement gossip
cancer away
we need to eat 
beet tomato tomatillo
leek garlic onion guard
bitter and artichoke lettuce
let us excrete purge
accumulation possession greed
segregation fornication discrImination
life is beautiful

Stones In Crypt

It was midnight moon
cruising in the bedroom.
I step aside in the depressed window,
watch the overwhelming spillover.

I listen, then do not listen to alien voices
of bipolar beings, speaking Aryan,
artfully in cryptic signs
crunching the bones.

Black crucibles throw up bright stars,
in cruciferous crow bars. Pungent
smell of armpits. Dizzing heights
of memorials, becoming digital targets.

Deathless deluge of totems, claim the
corpse of earth. The screams start
coming from buried caskets.
Divining rods disappear.

Blue spirits trying to fly away.
