Long Abed Poems

Invisibly tortured courtesy existential nihilism

In the slow, dead hours that hang attendant
Upon the birth of the dawn,
When all things pure lie safe abed,
Nested in sleep's safe oblivion,
The rituals take place, unseen, unfelt
In woods or alleys
In the dry, dusty corners...

Boast of bombs...

though, lingering caress of cheek and thigh remains
