Upon the precipice of an abyss

I stand able, eager, & ready to jump
impossible mission to swallow lump
muscles primed analogous to pump

When you are far from here,

My vacuum cleaner’s broken, 
sits in the garage gathering dust 
Beside dad’s old green car,

From the deepest shadows
To my hidden sorrows
In a land full of disease
Where the fire cannot cease
A place where a lonely sin

To the recurrent feasts of vultures
‘The Spirits amongst you, have prepared a table before us,’
The vultures vaunt vociferously
‘What Spirits…?’
‘The Spirits that outsmarts your soldiers
Which your Justicia herself cannot sentence’

‘Come quickly,’ they...

Miss Foxy and Hound 

The fox senses spring,
The hound is too tired to fight,
Conflict delayed, friends.

The hound hides in wait,
How smart are you, Miss Foxy?

Your beauty beats
whole lot said to be beautiful

time is not a spell - porous plague:
bounty bewitchment squinching crest,

drooling dirge heaving lanky lurch

ascribed by nocturnal nature:
hankering hectares feigning fields,
swaying swigs, fused figs, sumptuous spree

Every boy will have many thoughts,

Negative words may be given as shots,

Even beating may rupture their hearts,

They mayn't get the needed comforts,

A lesson, each pain definitely imparts,
