Avoid all hapless dogs of weir
All contretemps

Keep the lion cubs at heel.

When coming home
Sweet
Dorothy?
(Wilderness awash
With white

Of unspecific answers, begotten grime)
From brittle bruising
and torn covers
Blown asunder

Communication was lost

What is going on?
Who might be missing him?
Where’s The

The Living part?
Who got that

Yelled pages spilling

When falling through
a cracked vain blaze
Eternity -
without a pause.
And we will wait
We’ll wait
whilst fingers claw

parasite of gore

Defend the shore!

Reseal the door
Freefalling to

Do you & I

Yet lacking the foremost dormant yaws

Compared it to

I didn’t mean the meanness to intrude
In time and time and time again.
Such doily fray,
such verity to toll.
Remember.
Something.
You are Me –
we,
dark and desolate worlds
Made to scream
bold twitters
whilst
Fleeting guests combust
a caravan of
ready words
tortured
souls on broken glass
accelerated control

And written so

Incapable

Held together by the sickness of -
Disallowed tomorrows.
They leave me there,
Scattered
on the back steps of my life
Shattered by the hopes
of no-one’s
Optimism which turns away (and)
Weeps tears of joy (or)
The tears of drooling misperception…
The deciding vote is yours.

There shall all sorcerers deep sup

Look, we are done now.
We are inside now
or still without and riddled
By the question fenced
of griddles stretched to elegance?
Gowned figures adamant soft brushed
Take deeply breathing baby smiles
And proffer common cordite sense.26
Epitome.
The final leaf now bound
by
Slopes of boorish skin
It’s all downhill from here
Devoid of
terminus constraints
And infinite eternity expands
Unravels in her eyes
Now struck by star’s
Epiphany.
