Death KneltIn the cartographies merger with the soul,
where topographies bring thought converge,
a hidden rose blooms,
its petals unfolding,

thorns burst contradiction piercing the hymen with certitude,
as the benthic depths,
a chthonic whisper,
exhale the secrets unsaid...

Saint Catherine Was ExcaliburI 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
Where no one can hear you outside yourself

No One Is LookingCadence lowers its tenebrous tempo
Dulcet to a morose Memento Mori-bund
Lachrymose ribbon garnet fountain
Ruby rivulets in wine glass Chardonnay

So they swing on a rope seputchra

Torn being
Dark clouds hang over space
With a heavy head , I sit desolate
A passer-by can tell by my stance
Or by a mere gaze at my face
That I have been beaten by the seasons
I bow my...

One For Mulder and Scully
Dazzling, synthetic lights emanate from polished silver,
Penetrating my deep, chemically induced sleep.
Blinking sensitive eyes, I raise my swirling head.
I sit up and walk into a corridor of glass display cases.

A Fairly Scary Ghostly Hosta creak, an eek and eery melt
in darkness subtle shimmer felt
berroling, droom in shadow dealt
tip-tipping softly shooming out
a ghost that leaked and trickled through
the walls with leeg and gentle woo
a seep and freep from...

The Ravenous Witchthe ravenous witch
famished with greed
tummied and toothed
in scoops could she eat
pickles and pockles
and piggy trough trays
gorging, gullooging

and morsels of stuff
jiggleberries, hockleberries
but never enough
apples and hopples
pebbles and pears
the horribliest fruit

Remember when we thought we were cool?
We were good friends in those years
Our laughter overcame any fears
We were young, we were pure
We were safe, we were sure
Nothing could hurt us
No...

where a wizened old hagglefud

and cooks them in dopple soup
boils them in...

For Real!
Donkey lost by a stream pleads a deal
That the Tiger not make him a meal.
The scared Donkey looks sad-
While the Tiger grows mad!
Silly Ass, don't you know hunger's real??
