sweet, the sweat of
lonely neighbours,
when chimes whisk
them inside, under
covers
where two boneless
bodies climb
plateaus
to plunge into
graves of
chilly hands.

in brief
filter
held root’s
pain to glass
fire,
watched crushed
fervor throb
skyward,
-such vain
smoke purifier.

darc
pleased we weaved
palest bits
of rainbows from
tar-smeared,
slight jewels
of good,
‘spite throe
trench, we
fairly stood.

toppled paint can
gasped as darks ran
frost-
hardening gloss
mock grins spent
inventing fences
tamed bad substances
shamed fresh cherubs
blown too close
sewn own mouth shut
hushing tongue slut.

impounded
her hallowed braids-
singe-frayed
thread
snap my frailties
by latex bed
shrines me, grinds she
wined, we
so fuckin’ messy.

paradise
scape of land-
escapes this
man,
past in
trembling
hands.
tattered
clothes,
supple
sands greet
toughened
toes
soothed by laps-
sympathetic waves-
this silence,
saves.

elation station
five hearts
drumming
dizzy spinsies
won’t quit-
fuzzy bursts of
rising bubbles
causing
warmth and
giddiness-
floating sideways
in blind fool’s
disease
please don’t
let pin prick be
the end
of me.

dunce
on instagram as: grumpygorman
strangled wants
recess taunts
trash fires sparked for
adulation.
tall dungeon’s wall-
gagged rancor calls
self-sabotage or
inspiration?

heinous hand from handsome man
tethered with
scars and feathers
lass,
now late forever
glows cringing, slippery
southern wave
from diamond claw of
rogue that ‘saves’
other, clenches leathery
stabbing spade
tilling mournful
virgin grave.

candlelight
let’s catch
drunk fireflies
and jar them in
staid dusk
of your eyes.
