Heartthrob in damsel drag Belief of human bile Completely instilling cascading dregs of mechanical flesh, bones and spit 64th avenue And coiling deft doom Winged balls of bulging blood and speckled steel Merry wails and flutters of moths unsealed Fitted upon falling kneel And reckoned release of rotten roadkill- Rats and babes and brats Congealed candy and sickeningly sweet brandy And hailed light of...

I used to make up excuses I would have a funeral, a wedding, a cruise, something Whenever I did not want to do something I would get coaxed and cajoled, and sometimes would give in Despising my inability to say no to these interlopers Wishing I was brave enough to tell them the truth I have either gotten senile or wiser...

Only in the wretched Broken locking Of the safe I was beaten into Which refuses To hide Privately, despised by standards Breakthrough!
