How thrives 
on wonder sprees

a greedy loam
for honeycomb.

Lust raids in gusts
forever reborn,

nursing and cursing 
its exemption.

Enemy in dark savors rattle, 
boot + saddle

riddled with irreplacebility 
for bait of fate.

Crotchets carrying off 
the lame 

scratch at door
scuttle insane.

Tameless 
are the nameless

that veer among straits
plucky and wrying

between duty 
and trying. 

Misery slays 
the fool.

Hummingbirds flutter 
right up till death.

Debacles fall into 
flames of resistance.

Avowals of anguish, 
a litany of schemes

rescuing 
screams

that paw like magic 
through my dreams.
