Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign
Land,
Several acres of unkempt ground
Fallow and rough;
Upon which stands...
Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in
Some...

The Village On the Water Iv
Thump-thump of stiffening fish contorting
In the bilge beneath the gunwale;
Lidless, bulging, reddened eyes, swivelling upwards,
Protruding horribly from the straining sockets,
Express stupefied amazement at inconceivable

Rape - trigger warning
October: I'm eighteen, shortcutting home
through an autumn-burnished churchyard -
copper-lustred leaves, moss-skinned stone -
a jaunty swing of skater skirt and arm,
college folder square-sturdy in my hand.
In the moment. In the last pale pulse of sun.
Hey, can...

A mystery creating ocean wakes to flow

Steal an emblem to save a city,

A Mandrake's Gesture: Vol Ii.
The maiden's nipples
swollen, her bosom
flush with excitement,
hailing her goddess as
she slighted very
eloquently, puissant.
The goodness they
shared was of sinful
reproach, a somber
obedience of lovers'
admiration.
The dusk laden sky
flickered with prose,
the sorrows...

The Human Seasons: Elements At W r and Peace, Part Ii
2
Bourne loosely through the chill gusts,
Disordered fragments of summer's life go hurried by,
Harried to their last resting places
Into piles of brittle, browning drifts
Scattered on stiffening ground.
A cold sun, coursing ever more briefly
Across these hard, blue-white...

Yes I agree I killed her
#Yes_I_agree_I_killed_her
Diabolical thoughts runs amok,
In this room, adrenaline takes over,
Nothing makes sense, right now.
Trying to compose self.
Her griping nails, peircing through my neck, blood paints my shirt red, the gripping stiffening.
Gasping for breath, begging and...

Time Is In Sight But Beyond Reach

Winter is silver on her breath as she exhales,
oxygen stamped with her name, forgotten
as either one,
stiffening into smoke like her hair
against the twilight.
Her tears are winter...

Turn And
The future looks so frightening
fifteen minutes after your flower birth at dawn
From heart to soul,
your anxieties let you see
a sky halo of a red sun glow
Arterial uncertainty flowing
thru the grassroot dirt
to stem to petals
