A drag queen caused quite a disruption
with her latest drag show production.
While she sang with aplomb,
the full show was a bomb.
That's why she's called Eva Destruction.

when they see the act for the Grand Banquet.

yellow canary speaks
her's is the only clear truth
we humans can learn

welsh corgi plays
his is the main contentment

two elks warm
their's are the source of survival
we humans can learn

black cat cuts back flips
there lies the truest humor
we humans can learn

twins open their eyes
God's Rays of Inspiration
we humans must learn...

A man in a black suit, and cane drawn
wandering above the sea of fog 
wildlife, mountains, lakes, and bog

Untroubled Heaven in his eyes for the moment
fields of green, awaken refreshed at dawn
where salmon runs the rivers blue to spawn

where shaggy mane elks labor their spring calves
black-tailed and mule deer birth their newborn
a habitat full of wildlife species that are born

They excavate the past
with the jaw bones of concussed elks,

They are the blunt teeth
of an endless angry sky.

The undead
deadness of their weight
anchors the soil
keeps it from flying away.

If we let them they will ask of us,
lead us to recall the dust
in our green bones....
