PAINTBRUSH

...PAINTBRUSH 

Fingertips the bristles of a 
pagan paintbrush

on pacified cheekbones 
instead of in liver
from whence it sprung
now it burns to feed
HeartSpace with wi...

Something in my mind didn’t seem right,
I put on my glasses to improve my sight
I couldn’t seem to find my favorite site,
I fidgeted and fussed and...

He

...He wriggled and squirmed,
Like a demented worm.
Fidgeted and fumbled,
Grimaced and grumbled,

Cy Saves the Day Again

Jon’s Cat was hypnotized, clobbered in the head.

on a decaying landscape.

Of Winks and Wings - Part 1

A Prisoner Is Shown the Torture Implements

...The bricks were sweating, nervous.  Icy slime
