Monstrous

Monstrous

moment of simultaneity.

Goods whispering

to teased appetites.

Breakwater division

of works.

Barefoot on the hot wart

of parched earth,

the dust of steaming

fish eyes and bloated belly .

Disconnection

impartial disdain of regret.

Cremation of care.

Impure ash of a

callous burning,

smelling fetid in the air.

Leprous literati

with falling fingers

screaming online

they sat.

Political attacks of immaturity

Sunlight cold in the shade .

Black eyed , close cropped kid

wandering

making a whale sound

that sounds like a cat .
