...Look Back in Anger to June 2024

You, current denizen of Number Ten
With gleaming Colgate smile and Gucci shoes,
Take serious pause for thought, reflect on when
The voters all reject you and you...

Saint Catherine Was Excalibur

...I always said tether to the void
Not any idealistic reason or choice
Now suspended I know why I’ve been devoid
Because how can one speak with an inside voice

Dry Ice Surface

...In the abyssal depths, hope is bled dry to die
A requiem for all blurs my vision, blurry and blind

Pier was once past and now rotted and rictus, petrified.

Hue manatee threaded ten den and garnet.

Ruby teardrops and crimson Damascus drip...

Sarah’s Origin

...My eyes stare straight,
fixated on something in the distance, 
humming a song that would send chills,
if you ever got the chance to listen.

A padded cell and a straitjacket,

Cup of Tea Dear

...Tumble the marble blue and green,
quarter and three read hue manatee,
tea wistfully crusted in the wind blow.
