les géraniums-lierres
les fougères et les adragans
accumulent leurs oeuvres et jours:
La toile noire de Courbet

"The In-Between"

I ripped the pages of 
that tired old story 
from the heart, a body of work

buried the misdiagnosed slanders
then wiped their mouths
with the back of my spoon

the feed they found,
passed the disingenuous time;
some found...

Conspiracies of corrupted Love and Faith are choking me
My perverted deception of lettered 
Combinations of a language I cannot speak

Sending the tending to an unfriended ending,
 yet somehow suspending from rending a newly offending recommending.
Logotype monotype linotype,
overripe stereotype,
 teletyped an unripe heliotype.

Or ever be a big show off do not dare;


A good priest with us God will share.

let's speak of the unspeakable
the horrid, heartless, maybe headless tale

let's speak of small children,

whether parents

and systems,

We provide a better justice service
by remembering that most vulnerable populations

Aldo Leopold recommended
to would be ecotherapists

Knowing we so robustly reserve yintegrity

How horrible things were have to confess.
