Mulligans


Mandolins and bayonets
Piercing drums, as steel slips in
Foci
Fermi
Unending

Gargoyles and Pekinese
Portraits of stone legs lift to
Wardens of the ill contrived
Paw its prey, before anima arrives
Flash card focal points
Outmatched by
Flash mob Reasoning

Push the button
Pull the pin
Wipe the slate; erase the dun
Then awake, free from sin

Rewind and begin again.

She was a Society Girl


Sweater full of moistened canvas
Stuccoed despite apparent light bulb’s shine
Glowing still from embers hauled
Despite the light of Cupid’s torch, elated mirth soon doth falls 

In glass, trat she fears
Glossy straits comp laced with tears
As clocks conceal adjunct routes
To resurrection cove, she dreams about

Lounged back, cleft to tears
 Rejuvenated ampersands still in dread
O’er withered debate she so oft fed

While extensions shudder in their wait
 Bleeding time, rending haste
 For tides to turn the badgers heel
Into slippers forged in nostalgic reel

Strictly speaking to the lace concocts,
Sextants distance shall grow lost
In games, even purloiners grow weary from     
Where once recipes fresh and sweet
A maiden grows old and bleak
Without suitors to call or prey
She’s left faceless and afraid
As memories choose to fade
