Coffined in their cloistered nooks,

with their broken life inhabitants,
coffined tributes to a last wish that got away,
android druids in mock procession
—racing toward the end

Immortal Mansion Macabre
The white house on the hillside
Bright as ivory,
Entombs lost generations,
Coffined lovingly.

The mausoleum glimmers,
Glinting skull-white pale
A marble paradise where
Ancestors prevail…
Hearken!  Hear them wail!...

Unravelling
It was a sex attack
in burning clairvoyance.

You cannot catch me 
in catastrophic moment.

A hard core porn has 
the piety for a lone wolf.

Unclothed, a courier 
walks into a shower of bullets.

A hospital waits for the 
wounded god returning home.

On the scrubland you place at the 
end a coffined prophet, smiling.

Sleepless, sleeping on ambers 
you recite a blind epitaph.
