Fall Into the Stream and Hold Your Breath
coral stones
in an ancient eldritch sea
misdeeds are precedents
for recreational electives
torching
smoking
inhalations
on pox-filled hollow cheeked natives
tongue-in-cheek relatives
fire breathing
dragon lady
dancing panda bear
engravings
over wrought deceitful lies
disgrace the dream
of alien nights
as bogus reindeer feed
on purple majesties
the broccoli suffers
beneath parched leaves
golden morning
precious stone
romance burning
as the world slides through
eternally machining
machinations
incarnations
of hesitant gods
animals splashing through
spring-time floods
the measure of man
as brilliant as a pinwheel
fossilized in amber
encased in glass
passions running wild
under star-sticker ceiling tiles
freedom believing
slavery will end
yield to the whim
of a woman without man
stomping cages
romping through pages
suicidal missions
unpredictable
forbidden amongst the middens
of an ancient trash heap
where all the dogs will sleep
beneath the sea of endless greenery
the only blue bonnie lass still breathing
inside the iris
of a giant cloud seeding
impossibly demeening
after only one meeting
like pressure building
and steaming islands sprouting
palm trees screaming
mud flash flooding
down scree strewn hillsides
ocean to ocean
unstoppable emotion
plugged by the motions
the endless commotion
of six billion
mouth breathing
flesh-chewing
idea spewing
short lived
foolish fools
pretending
in ghouls with wings
swords and overlords
of bad taste mistreating
the trinity of ghosts
racing
towards an ending
of sorts
religion mixes well
with vodka
and carribbean resorts
