Whispers of mutinies touch her rose pedal ear
She peacefully sleeps through her endless nightmares
She journeys through the darkness seeking only light
The days drift by but for her... Only night
The machines breathe for her like a metronome
Through these sterile halls her spirit roams
The day has finally come to let her go
As my hand reaches the plug, she screams NO!

LXX
Lord in my weaker moments keep me sound
My faith be anchored safe upon the Rock
Whilst storms dash mighty vessels run aground
From jaws of vile leviathan that stalk
Oft times I feel that this old ship hath sailed
Without thy Spirit, Lord my heart doth faint
It matters not my tattered soul had failed
When to thy might submit take off restraint
O Star of my dark voyage from despair!
And Captain of my spirit castaway
Command my broken heart that needs repair
And to depart from dismal shores I pray
Nay would my soul set sail from mercy find?

tiptoe through a sky of dying lilacs daisy chain reactors
try real hard not to offend anyone
please don’t jerk my alphabet out of your swoon soup
my occasional tongue likes to swoop down
and scoop tender mutinies... into my
green slimy spoon - quick turn disquised saliva into
churn burnt backwards words

The journey of perilous seas-
a vessel so grand-
plunging into the darkest abyss-
eagerly searching as the house upon a rock-
Steering true through mutinies,
teetering on the brink of tipping!
Rallying, never to waver again!
Yet another voyage just dawning-forevermore!

Grounding teeth against the wollywork
Memorization doesn't appetite and clause
Matching petulant crashing opposed
Language and its neighbor
Avenue of bark
Credible crock croaking a broken moat
Butcher a goat
Drowning why like castling a brook
Finalizing a product
Like escaping a hurricane queen
Dragging ten mutinies of throat
Trusting in a scratchboard to mimic an answer
What we don't know
That can television a torch
And repel rocket cocktails
Between the legs of market and street
To scream through a screen
And disrupt sunbelt of orange glo

Bring out your integrity
genesis is imploding
in the murderous womb.
Multilinear mutinies have started
in red blooms
igniting the sky.
An old woman walks on the street
eating the shadows of sun.
The king will give her a gift of moon.
How the earth has been flattened
by the pawns of Resurrection?
Life has never been the same.
Purely undone for the death
milk of silence in dark.
The cow is sitting on the singing dust.
Fear was not me I was listening
the wheezing sound of changing winds.
The snakes are coming out of the trenches.
