Space-viewed landscapes of rust and paint
Showing mirrored continents imagined;

Outlines of Octopi on Oil slicked streets;
Every post and pole or stone a step:
Sat on,...

rush down the hallway and dash up the stairs
When finally...

The humpback is a gullet
equipped with snarky fins.
It has a winning smile:
and when it SMILES, it wins
as miles and miles of herring
excite its fearsome grins.
So beware,...

Over the Edge, Four Flights Up`
I opened the rusted iron gateway
bound in chain and wire, to find a landing
caked in muddied footprints, scattered about like roaches
Magpie shadows course the rain soaked streets
and puddle patterns reflect temptation as light flickers
from second...

Kiss of DeathAnother girl,
Just livin' her life.
Another soul,
Trying to survive.
A happy place,
She's tryin' to find,

When she shuts her eyes.
Another boy,
That no one sees.
Except the bullies,
Hiding down the street.
Two bloody shins,
And two broken knees,
The kid's...
