Spitting laws applied only to the weak.

They paint bombs in the colors of...

A Boating Accident

...Eroded,
undercut,
sagging for years beneath the weight
of a dead sycamore,
the bank gave way

                   inland, cultivable

How  so many stars tremble quite sublime
For this clutch of demise gushes its pour.
