• The moment of the bomb

  Brothers feuding, duelling, to the last trumpet’s tune Strumpets strewn in gutters, plootered on glue, age of Pluto Fire consumed everything, ash upon it all Black snowfall cascade, the flesh coming undone, sloughing away at touch Like an eight minute mic’d crumpet gushing butter One last crushing blow, then an age-long stillness Windless moment forever…

• Plane Struck By Lightning 

  A tale that must be told Singular in strangeness Time to unpack it all now that I’m a patient Declared legally insane Strange as Webster’s Vertical Plane  Such audacious conflations of credulity all in one place, at such pace, A mind wearing such weights droops, hides its face like the plate-touching chin of blameless Gorgythion.…
