• Out of his prime

  Spared the ferule, what did it net them other than upset? A lord of misrule raising mayhem A sense of a world upended, among the waiting men some presentiment Of scenes from older time coming back around again; On the hearse-dark night of my birth, at the wharf Stars fled their fixed berths like fire-chased…

• Homemade TNT

  My homemade grenade proves ground raising, new grave no spade Tumult and rubble, too much fucking trouble, underground rumblings Oarfish dying surface rising, sure signs of earthquakes coming In Chile, a farmer shocked at a four-headed calf birth In Bosnia, a child seen in bat form taking wing Birth of Manbat Batboy’s accomplice Fast as…
