Doubled
Back
grim despite old rant
acolyte viragos
will a precision glutton
for decade drill
aggression slowly pencilled
a handbrake away
to thrill confused tenements
down the parkland
the predilections born of division
emerge scored
synching encased the mineral
its bent intoning
outplayed the vendor’s release
disposal revenue
boiled its memorial hacksaws
after cheer school
old rant grim respite
Game Patriots
jeering bugbear vignette backers
slowed the scoreboard snatching
brushfire property unquestioned
their visceral vistas blanketing
rudder faxes or furrow mirages
compassion rhapsodies follow
diameters dispensing incarnation
thrillers specific unspent dollars
plot their mongoose fabrics bent
to phylum barnacle distancing
the new subterranean occlusion
left a potted noumena module
torrent thrills misplaced rancour
the voice patterns facile or cringe
loosen the overtasked victory tint
or a lugubrious hint of roving granite
shakes the finite space invention
a corny incarnation grasped to split
treasury mirage a fabric of tactics
no regurgitant victory nugatory
pitch clings to the filament skies
appliance euphoria departures
the classic feeders illustrated
fish glucose and batter circle
the varnish scattering shale fonts
as the weather chance vanished
plectrum rockets spring from air
unkeel white ceiling vestibules
increase as hook dollar praxis
bottle the tamper concession
hoard numeric cedar remnants
serve the unmatched bottle
no vested schemata left complicit
Drunk on Promise
tincture as beverage
tips the stentorian strata quake
the confidants cling
wherever juncture bevels
the loudest subterranean roil
when reflecting thickens
intent lighting torn ahead
circles the last classic worked
for ant calls or stalkers
clingers best the sure
servants of the variety moguls
though still intent
their plasma shaded
appliance washer extravaganza
lava slang intact
the makers unkeeled
murmur fixtures for resounding
leftward emblems
seat distention unveiled
its flashy load shattered young
its ruins a sample breath
low repentance, savoury present
the medieval memoir distended
the tired dimension expressing
nominal fury derailed on location
the storied disrepair maintained
the foundering invective shortage
sulphur helped patio garlands
outpose underdone glimmers
kleptocratic commotion heartfelt
but errata touched lash weight
interiors softening fence fodder
concealed its romantic doggerel
a surprise up the patio armchair
blockaded the paradigm frontons
rephrasing all stolen impatience
to paraphrase low impediments
tornado subtitles breaking last
shame their empty temptation
Vacation Refuge on Vacation
new to detrimental upset
the seascape family creates
thoughtful shock replication
their vacant elision vengeance
squeals faded enzyme vantage
gropes worn lottery candelabra
mongoose roasting on asphalt
as plumage veins protruding
drive out a mud-encased mirth
radar mud derision lowered
for the boathouse phone-in
darkening, season closed
her laminated dress and sciatica
snatched the bearded homilies
first becoming the edginess of eyes
from a daydream in granite
disputes bartered nob sherbet
film launch becomes a thought
and a digital cameo scathe
