Short Sulphuric Poems

hot liquid
bubbling cauldron...
witches brew


sulphuric acid
nostrils flare...
matches ignite


lava overflows
on mountain crevice...
blister patch



for PD's contest...

And I lose 
In the sulphur
Of the loss.
I'm pushing forth,
All guile,
While all the while,
The world spins around.
Turning with it
Bursting 
With light and sound....

She woke up
The bitter remnants of the past 
swirling in her mouth
eating her words
in a sulphuric acid brew
She woke up
and spat them out
before they charted a course to destroy
all she still knew
of the truth

TOXIC STATE

hunched, amidst creative ash:

H.D.’s sulphuric shell -

pieces of a deranged puzzle.

all           the president’s men

scratch their hairless heads.

they had thought to build a wall -

but no one in town owns a brick.

Once long ago 
You made the sun shine
Now you cast
A septic sulphuric shadow
You came and stole
My heart and my happiness
And interred them
In cold grey granite stone 
Days once so brief
Now linger, last too long
As we must sit
Separate in the same room
And listen to
The silence of hurtful hate

For contest * Jaded Love*  by John Heck...

The crazy befouling animalistic urges
Life beyond character
Carton of sulphuric acid
A calm third gender walks out
A person called Chex
Female, Male and Chex
Chex are vemonous
A creature or (person) of infinite ability
Not manly
Not feminine
Just the perfect being
Not god of course
But the third gender
Not a confusion or a mix of both
But the Perfect Gender 
Who makes this third gender?
Human kind...

It is silent
Neon sulphuric mustard gas
It is the snare
Spilling poison, dropped chalice
You are the cupbearer
Drinking your holy communion
From ashes to rubble

I remember you
The smiling tiger
Roaring to the pounce
Fiercely tugging at life caught
Between your polished claws
Until the wall fell and celebration
We were selling bricks in bin liners

You can get up off your knees now
The table would have killed you anyway....
