Zozimus
My ankles you haunt Cat what’re you Shouting about What could you want? You nose at my legs Tilting at shadows You nestle again. Lap you knead Unseen bread An unseen life Thoroughbred. Door you can open You will not open Scouring the rooms Someone to rope in. At dinner or not Wailing as if…

Masked Doctor
Immaculate bedside manner he’s a doctor Impenetrable mask of the eternal imposter Quality’s foster-child A smile full of guile I’ve got the strength of eight dockers I’m lopping heads, docking points Sure as Chris Barnes got worse when he grew dreads Sure as any little thing will cause flame wars on Threads Sure as architects…

Sycamores, swerves its smiting, Night knights him, friezes him; Purple cathedral silhouette, dream of canons. Roost of rooks once corbels called shamans gothic feeling within, Day’s summit impassive opulence, heighting height hoisting light higher. Dives then lies flat to branch undersides,…

Cernunnos
This feast Cernunnos made for you Incense peels temporary wraiths, gyring to gladetop Deep drain circling blood thrice cough He hath prepared it mindfully knowing all things, toward some hidden end Past a heaving, heathen throat stings Deep drain toward higher purpose. In woods he told me I have seen him dancing More often this…

Fly
Fly, are you even among your number heralded As one vigorous, swift, imperative. How dash thee to and fro just shy of my whip Educated wrist, slick; and yet you slip
