• Dark in Dark’s Clothing

  Puzzling fogs descend from the fen Symbols, omens and signs of the end Grinding locks and cogs, ninth of the ten Rancid meats hurled from Eastern skies, high tides Tithes and tied bonds, tendering of debts, surrendering to death Downward, downward tends the West, the fallen crest  The millionth coin toss so it lands on…

• Buyer’s Market

  Driving the borderlands, killing Varkids Big sniper always hit the target, Manny Vargas BMW S5, big stripes hug the side like a Zebra’s hide Recently separated so I’m cruising Dipped in kief, my marinated zoot Cloud colour soot so I roll up the roof Wondering whether that second moon is an illusion Moving through the…

• Plundering a Masterpiece

  Numerologists praising lucky elevens and sevens Numbing numbers puzzling and unbecoming, potent despite Like witch-stirred potions brewed on rare moon nights, enabling flight Impossible by rights yet I thereby gliding despite Without spite, purely to satisfy and blight with blithe smiles One slight, short in height, a self nothing denied since it brushed motherthighs An…

• Cursing the Oppressors 

  Apollo and python  A sporting lord And wielded change and lightning chains Who enjoyed cavorting with human sorts  Despite his wife’s jealous, green-tinged eyes blazing Queenly Athena, shed no fierce tears at your frieze’s fleecing Turn your molten heart freezing and curse the disruptor’s penis Cast shadows where the shoulder-stroking light of Venus lends warm feeling…

• Jack the Lad

  Jack the style of Jack the Ripper Home in time for kippers  Some for necking, this for sipping Knob protection if getting with strippers Yellow liver drinking this paintstripper  Run a strimmer over my grave Smoke a blimmer of high grade haze  My gaze has a glimmer  A light sliver living inside the eye I’m…
