Thus in an infernal VanHoof went poof....

bare the foliage of trees

 petals crumbling… split from boughs

where ghosts of maples droop low,

Jutting out dangerously.
Attention needed urgently.
Gashed and hurtful no one liked. 
Grating metal barbed and spiked.

They say there was an eagle who came and took his chair,
and soon it spilt out black blood on you and me and off the East.
The gay man’s disguise is sexualised through the long legs

Though we both know it will not

I can drill a finger hole into the center of it and
now it is a square box ...with a round hole

 I do not fit nicely into either shape

as I am star dust and must just keep blowing around all the time...
