Extern

...Deathsnake coiling, squeezing.
Heavy soul wheezing.
Conforming for conjoining.

A trick or two sets the mood.

Hatchet in the snow
A snowman’s hand gripped
A snowman slashed low
Low falls the timber

Ballad of An Open Drain

...Pulling back the curtain
and wading through a cloud of steam.
I may not be certain
but in the sink there seems

To be a black smudge
that can move on its own.
Drying myself with a mildew laden...
