Volcano

open wounds

be it once a year
or once an eon

so long as my veins
swell and burst and overflow

so too will th’ Earth
taste th’ air

so too will other life
be bless’d with breath

Tempest

spells of infernal debate
as half-bred sheep bleating
temper’d scorch
joust furiously for Celestial Harem
all unsted suitors rout’d
into rabid stampede

hear th’ unholy choir from the Post?
souls of afterdeath scourg’d
unmercifully
their waxes perspiring to infinite
swarms of disharmony
even towards the self?

Flock Watcher

not of my feather
daydream on an open perch
and you will be mine
