“The Apocrypha of Familiars” 

Wings hover 
light luminescent
revelling sprites dark pearls
Corvidae shades
of a family 

highly functioning
dysfunctional plural

light from their shining 
hidden away

Every year someone is always expressing
that Christmas is imperialist, and oppressing
people not of the Christian faith,

One last beer before Christmas
Sitting in a run down bar
Toasting Christmas' once again
Making New Years Resolutions
That in eight days I'll amend
Watching Christmas Specials

All the while waiting
For another glass of beer

Drowning in chorus with the headsman’s gush of 
Bloodstained tears
Upon the occasion
Of Bataan
Remembered.

Then in repose...

I'll be careful I promise

But an idea never tarnished,
Why so...
