Little coral
Rewarmed and die
I need my uber,
Little turtle
Defreed and die
I need my straw,
Little leopard
Declothed and die
I need my rug,
Little elephant
Retoothed and die
I need my bangle,
Little rhino
Mefaced and die
I need my

Scuttle scurry
Roaches
Askidaddle to the
Left
Skidaddle to the
Right.
Furious feets
Propelling
Gripping zip
Zero escape
Because
Feee-fi-fo-yum
A roach soon will
Roast

I stood at the helm of,
More
I fought in the valley of,
Less
I, myself, I was the barrel of,
War.

I lay in the ditch of,
Gravy
I crawled up the walls of,
Detest,
I, me, I was the roach of,
Nobility.

I knew better

• a headline taught me
  I hated intensely
• a headline enticed me
  I clicked furiously
• a headline led me
  I argued vigorously
• a headline fed me
  I grew superior
• a headline lifted me.
  The story?
  Oh, too boring.

Ebrious by today
Exhausted by yesterday
Embittered by tomorrow,
Give me one more,
Sip
Stride
Swing,
I am greedy for another,
Tot
Trial
Tribulation,
Bar me from life,
I am her alcoholic lover.

A corner lifted
Like today’s dawn
Bright burnt redness
The goblin smiled.

A lip curved
Like today’s moon
Cookie cut darkness
The goblin smiled.

A teeth peeped
Like today’s lightening,
Zig zag whiteness
The goblin smiled.

Silent Spring
Their buzzing gone
Wrist flick done
Peace at last

Silent Spring
Glinting lights dark
Children’s laughter stark
Quiet at last

Silent Spring
Bugged windscreen
Butterfly spleen
Clean at last

Silent spring
Digital melodies
Comforting remedies
Dead at last

God of War
Roar
Hear my Whine
Pine
Soft belly ambition
Attrition
Aries hot breath
Death
His long fight
Contrite
My lack thereof
Dove
Will soft mushy
Puppy
I need berries
Aries

Piggery
Diggery
Hungry,
I stuffed
I chewed,
I swallowed
Lunchtime sweets
Floury treats
Icing sweetmeats,
Burp
Sturp
Stop
The
Cup
Cakes

Shout and taunt me
Push me down,
Strip away my pride
Leave me nude,
Naked and confused.
Look at my bone of
Indignation
Is this all you’d hoped to see
I have more.
The cloth of my skin
Hides all
As the cloth of man hides nought.
Herein is to be found
me
Skin tight on flesh
Flesh tight on bone
Bone protecting all
And beneath all
I exist.
That is where I live
I chose that
The site of my mansion
It is built of dreams
Furnished with hopes
Delicate
Yes.
As eternal life
Shall you find me
Hunt me down,
Trap me
Skin me
Mount me,
Put my head
Besides past victories
Is there glory to be found?
Glory sought?
Yes.
But I am better
For I have life
Eternal, till I die
Each and every second
My eternity.
One’s life is life
Life all-encompassing
Hide your dreams
Your hopes
In the womb,
Of envisioned failure
By others.
Let it mature
In their deception.
Welcome it into the world,
To the sound.
Of your enemies wailing,
At the pain.
Of giving birth,
To your success.
