de rigueur

someone’s torn

pointing fingers in a mirror
writing with burley
on their star studded

craggy oysters
peppered salty
grey and green 
furry mouthed

blunt, stunted minds
lacking wisdom

scattering envy 
curling vitriol
like iron...

It stands on the edge of civilization,
fed by a ghost town road
A starving artery leading into the desert

Suddenly I looked up as something caught my eye
A very pretty girl saunters in and buys herself a coffee
And perches herself cross-legged upon a cleared table in front of me
Among the...

Sinister intentions are met with solitude
A ghastly grin greets the grimy windows

But we all know they'll end in some awful rhyme
So forced and juvenile we'll be shaking our...

The cinnamon red rooster lost
His place in the pecking order
Of the flock where another rooster
Battled him to near death
Leaving him with one eye pecked out
And the other swollen shut
Like a boxer who had gone too...

Adulating setting sun quivering in rippling currents
Where golden filaments shimmered on blue water
Forming and breaking ephemeral circular motions
Undulating amber rays on eve’s buoyant emotions.
