Left for Deadening or Not                      

 

fontanelle soprano mutiny

disgorging paramecium

regardless of the frontal tilt

preceding hamster generation

 

the nucleus of continuity

prohibits electron scrutiny’s fertile lint

a vague luminescence offshore as spring

communes its sacred bubbled neutrino

 

a primal root

to the Parthenon canal

exhibits memorial offspring

 

blue longitudes at the swell

forge parametric lilting, songs

haunting ballads’ needy words

 

long as the broken trunk of night’s shadow

 

storing its peanuts

& veracity in a cakewalk mix

 

fluoride enjambed its sonic parliaments

one cell one vote one remote

 

switch

 

pivots in its orbit

or obituary to the standard panoply

 

whose credits

pick flowers

overdue

 

 

 

Urban Haunts                                 

 

Sonorous gossamer contract threader,

deluxe ruminations a penthouse foregone.

New rudders of sentient didactic

tousle the intact but reddened imitation                             

sconing buttered waters. A sylvan misery

misbegotten, stadium entreaties belong

under the tight hew, a new residue

of the long forgotten short of it

gleaming. Onerous deadening factors,

lipid to the bore but real to the aureole,

fly a crescent livid festoon. Archery

before thought zens impedance.

Enamel gourd frenzies lattice when the

boundary lessens, the temperate

brewing serious. Obdurate lee snatchers,

imperious, with the goods showing lozenges

under their slanting banned velcro lids,

share bedlamite tonsorial futures

where jackdaws claw under median

divination’s rancid trance mosaic

or say revenue chairs play musical

absence. Under their praying, vectors 

heir to intense retractor shredders

ensure montuna zombies inherent bliss

or physical plenitude, as the need

may replicate. Savage splendor gourds

rewarding somnolent gossips their true

apportion of squandered apparition

juice as reparation for substance

or abuse as throttled headgear presents.

Lavender sullies loosened wandering

gully rituals. Invested with nominal headgear,

trumpet messages brassy substitution

clamor. The enamored vacant for footage

as a wavering multitude’s self-encroachment

desists the threat of its crystal glamour

pattern. Aching among delusional dynasty

fabrics, torn dysfunction rumors warn

the timid to stay the fray of its calling.
