Cat Among the Ruins ✅

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 misreasons

for fate.

Crotchets carrying off

the lame

that scratch at door

and scuttle and howl insane.

Misery slaying

the fool.

Tameless

are the nameless

that veer among straits

plucky and wrying

between beauty

and trying.

Frigid illuminates

the rigid.

Hummingbirds flutter

right up till death.

Debacles fall into

flames of resistance.

Avowals of anguish,

a litany of schemes

liberating screams,

pawing through my dreams.
