I dread the United States presidential 2024 outcome...

Whereby yours truly presages and doth abhor
nothing short of an imminent civil war

oddly enough even reducing
ordinary decibels to a mute whisper
madding crowd trumpeting...

He was casual; spoke in a low voice.
Seemed to sense that...

At night rapscallions in my head
Refuse the coal that scorches dread

And peace, however light the touch
Calms the seas where dragons rush

The crescent moon, my dreams aglow
With love so pure, pearl ivy grows

Hurried heart that once...
