when aforementioned animal burrows inside
leaving pellet size poop in their wake
suddenly presenting...

Part I:  My mother’s Voice.

Throatily cheered the processional romp.

I find an old oak tree, dry and dilapidated,
with barks peeling off, roots dislodged from soil.
It is waiting for the time to die and fall.
In my...

With the melodic cadence of my fervent heart,  
pulsating with the charming tinsels of mesmeric night,

along the tortuous but exhilarating track

To make a stack beside the stove,

Caustic memories dissolve on my tongue
Lingering tastes of battery acid and nicotine

my heart’s ebony horizon, 
spreads the sunburst colors of yearning
