  leapt and gouged in frenzy craving.
From Palliser Bay to Cape Reinga 
 (departing p...

A Letter To My Dead Daughter

Beneath stars of heavenly grandeur,
In a café, romance prospects dwell brighter.
Patrons’ entertaining escapades of camaraderie

Sloth

...It was the missing decade 
of my life that came back,
late on one clammy night.

Wearing your visage
of a foraging girl
at the foot of a tranquil Vesuvius.

Assaulting the nostrils of pure souls.

 

With the putrid scent goes along,
