as he flexes his muscles

The Doomed Tornado
...Up in long bands of gray and white
angry clouds are whirling,
fingers stretch downwards to the ground,
faint traces of swirling.
the farmer sees it and suspects
what nature is unfurling.
Glad a...

Gently sloping as we go
From new year resolutions
T’ward the winter’s dark and snow

Instagran
...She’s stuffed and she’s mounted;
She’s up on a board.
This week, she’s discounted;
We’ll throw in a cord.
Her joints all work;
She flexes and bends.

He flexes his wing...

Soft electric lighting
nudges hips into revelation.
Her stone has left its whiteness,
blue veins bury their tributaries
into perfected form.
