Can blackwater lilies 
sing forth sonnets 
of daylight and 
unsung those 
cacophonous notes 
of omen, which

Yours truly snapped, popped,

From glucose, bonds break and energy flows, 
Through various molecules, energy goes. 
From foods that you once eventually ate,

You lack conscience since you introduced unknown world to...

Kristel had some old scores to settle for good or for better

From my stark cave I breathe the tang of
blood and sweat; your breathing slows in
    alarm palpable and sticky as you
slink away with trepidation. In your staccato
