Lose Antennae
...Lose antennae? I’m a beetle!
Not one bug in Aleghenny

...Curdling wave of denatured purity
Milk and acid, perverted mated pair
Waltzing, obese ballroom spinners
Twirling, breeders spun by children’s fingers
A fleet, in concentric circles turning.

Gatekeepers to life
Aborted hopes and dreams

The Door
...There came a knocking
At the door
Which stirred me
On the floor
Circled up
In foetal
Comfortable

You Did It, Now Undid It

Crystal clear, sharp, blue and shining.
