equivalent to abracadabra to disarm
truculent nasty shortish brutes

A red sun punctuates every moment gone

I'll write of things lamentable like poor shipwrecked loves,
Tempest-tossed by bestial winds behind unfeeling storms;
Ripped apart by the furious middles of swift-gusting winds,
Voyaging to dream-born shores away from boring homes.

First a twinkle in her daddy’s eye
Hypnotized

Momma’s hips
Gripping, tugging, releasing him

Voyaging through the passages

Welcome to the world
A brand new baby girl!
Simple mind...

With this substance a lot to link,
 If only one would clearly think 
But nothing between Zinc and school’s ink
Nor voyaging vessels that sink: 
Perhaps the gray of oysters, not pink…

We all should crave the...
