Minuses

Chill night marking miles 

Mike’s just a chill guy

Hands down the pockets of my ill strides 

Cold out so soles chilled of my slides

Sliding along a meandering mirror 

High snow banks to either side 

Skaters eighting the ice-encased river 

Carving amazing shapes for avians 

Proceeding without delay 

Won’t you stay with us for another drink

Their food looks delectable 

To make you softer

Through sloth, you will elect

Yourself for suffering

You never drink or eat what fairies offer

No matter how often they ask

No matter how soft the satin they dangle 

No matter their angle

Manage desire and anger, either 

Sparks flying off into the sky

God working something into shape

Holding his angle grinder 

In view of full-heighted angels

In driven snow eiderdown, drowned in eyes

Thor’s dwarfcraft, leal. Mjolnir 

Sleek and repealing, death dealing 

World’s whorling ceiling peeling back

Revealing the demon behind the mask

Loose clasp by merest action undone 

Frail, black 

Like a batwing separating on the rack
