the armpits of rancid love, 
your bouquet floors me....

Injected, colored, perfumed;
Ready for retail....

As a hazardous minefield 
Distills rancid air

Rancid breath
Inebriated

Kneeling at the toilet

flip-top access to a phlegm-filled hack
blackened teeth and rancid breath
the smoker’s path to a breathless death.

I feel like I am trapped in an air tight tomb
No light or hope here …. Just me
Waiting to be spilled from this rancid womb
I need to be set free...

I saw a cat humping a bee
She meowed once with delight
I covered my eyes from the sight
Then she started humping my knee...

is left
little breath
sagging stem
begging eyes
trains come, then depart
rancid smoke over grey fields
I am little
I saw it all...

Haranguing,
tongue,
bitter mind,
rancid thoughts,
cruel eyes,
violent hands,
smashing legs,
disdainful chest,
he was always trying,
to prove that he was best....

Who made the most terrible stinky stew.
A pot full of meat
So rancid can’t eat
Even the vultures stayed clear of the brew....

sorrow hugs my heart 
        fall’s breath rancid with her jeers 
        my esteemed neighbour 
        battles winter’s icy fog
        to bring a fancy xmas card...

Rancid waters
Won’t keep,
Running waters
Never sleep,
Shallow waters
Seldom deep
Salty waters
Often weep.

I am a friend of pie
Why?
Because I would never eat it.
It will live its natural life cycle
Until it's dry
Then goes all rancid
And can die.

And that's why I
Am a friend of pie....

The milk's gone rancid and the bees have fleed
Quite sad I know
Remains to be showed
Eyes are tear-filled and not able to read...

Tin cup of criticism
hollow and blue
Empty aspersions
poison the brew

Its venom unasked for
distilling in pain
Opinion left rancid
—acidic and vain

Putrefying proteins,
emanated rancid airs,
he had this excretion,
and other unwanted,
wares,
quite spread out on table,
as if he was narrating,
a known tale,
of his dirty inside,
as a fable....

Your home fills a rancid life
Yesterday was very refreshing 
But agonizing voices murmured
Through the shivery cold
The moon's sight peers through
Your bloodstream zapping it
With a vinegary feeling...

A skunk strode by my window last night
Spreading his rancid aromatic delight

His must be a lonely life
Couldn’t have too many friends you’d think

You really have to face it folks
For the guy really does stink...
