But a contradiction in terms for sure.

The cards on the table,
Read “Dead Man’s Hand”.

I don't think people understand 
Why I'm so angry, or why I'm so sad

Morning At Work

Impaired by his tremors
And a troublesome cough,
He turned fur into felt
Before cooling things off.

He drooled once or twice
And grew cold in his bones,
But he shaped all the felt
Into all of the cones.


Noon

Spawn of the arcane, glutted, she sprawls upon the sands 
of mythos. As victims, star-crossed lovers, outcasts,
we have all seen the traces of these nether lands.
