...Mother Earth
is due for her hysterectomy.
Soon she will lap dance
in a crystal-clear sterility
far from her blood-soaked fields.
She is done with nurturing,
done with death and destruction.

Your growls and your yowls
Your calls and your mauls

Meowing Nemesis
...My days are dogged
by ankle-panthers,
my nights cursed
by the thwarted yowls
of sexual athletes.
I try to negotiate a way
into their affections
yet they scorn
chin tickles,
my hesitant ear...

I Vomit Poems
...I’m a modern poet.
Pyromaniac.
Psychotic.
And schizophrenic.
Living in emptiness,

Idiocy spreads over me like the sky.
My poetry storms between cozy ...

The house is a rumble with cat yowls and howls.
They sharpen their claws, and duel with their paws.
They roll and tumble and make the dog grumble.
Steal what they shouldn't,

...A lone wolf yowls lachrymose,
At a lowly weeping full moon,
A hyperborean chill blows,
To quake the trees snow-clad festoon.
Reverent icy waters stand still,
Solid as old placid cold stone,
