My children would never need
But never fulfilled

Lover’s Reap

 

Poet’s soul spins into her cavity neap
Filling the cracks and crevices deep
Leveling the lining it seeps
Grading the walls inside steep
Secures the hearts new keep
Slowing lobo’s creep
Disturbing sleep
Killing sheep
Bo Peep
Reaped

Gutter Pizza

Gutter pizza steamsWorm Vomit
Round worms seek shelter
Pigeons flock to scene

Broken zipper streams
Boil weeping smelter
Gutter pizza steams

Lacerations scream
Doubling up, welter
Pigeons flee the scene

Conscience fades to dreams
Nightmare now alters
Gutter pizza steams
Pigeons flock to scene

200 Foot Memes Square

100_1007

Come in my living tomb
Old Navy senior sale
Ten by twenty foot room

My window, children bloom
Febreze soaks up the stale
Come in my living tomb

Next store old bride new groom
Hammering Trojan nails
Ten by twenty foot room

Memories, weeping womb
Dyson cleans up, prevails
Come in my living tomb

Expecting the word gloom
Westinghouse lamps unveil
Ten by twenty foot room

Sleeping soon, don’t exhume
Ambien does not fail
Come in my living tomb
Ten by twenty foot room
