The Fear
by Janis Thompson
The Fear
REVERENCE nor APATHY
causes human CONDEMNATION.
For surely it’s not empathy
generating CONSTERNATION.
Sneakily ENCOMPASSED is a mistress
binding UNEARTHLINESS
to make violence a PREDILECTION.

Poems are Blood and Bone
by Iwould Prefernotto
Poems are blood and bone.
~
Poets are oil spits;
flamable ancient reservoirs of
contestable spirit,
mallowed constitutions.
Hollow seekers of destitution
prowling depression beds
of coughed discarded memories
blanketed by romantic reverance
virginally...
