The branched cousins
Will we hold down a chain of hands for the estranged?
Will we gather as a village at the mine’s collapse
that is to say- the collapse of family ties?
Do we try on your Gulf War gas mask despite the chemistry
of oil drum patterns sunk in your daughter's brain
and the possibility of fear streaks left inside as an epitaph?
Do we say this man filled up his 7-11 XL plastic cup
with vodka on fire and we will Slurpee you out
years later after his bottles row like transparent headstones
behind the tool box in the back of the cabinet?
Do we enlighten you to stop saving the world
one hive at a time? Do we tell the storm
to stop bowling over the hexagonal honey in Haiku, Maui?
Shall we see how your father takes an exit
and ends up in solitary already half-there in an eddy of his mind?
I need to ask someone for directions from Edinburgh
to the Blarney Stone, we’re no kissing cousins, but I
will kiss anything upside down as the epitome of hope
anything to redefine the shakes of any one of my aunts’ shoulders
and bowed heads, ever can I perceive what their faces
were like so lined, sketched permanently now at reunions
and baseball games. I envy the gift, I am hindsight, and
you’ve bent a path of light straight to elegy.

Evils end
Exhausted enemies exiting Edinburgh encounter eerie ends. Ensuring each epitaph's elegy emits estranged elation. Enlightened earthlings ensure every endeavour equates equilibrium. Emerging educators exit endless eddies ever ensuing euphoria's essence. Envoking enraged emperor's estranged envy. Evil's epitome envelopes earth, entirely.

Edinburgh's Tragic Circle
That break-in at Fettes caused an eddy
in Edinburgh and beyond. Disguised
as ALF the act was the epitome
of criminality. Police estranged ...
... from judiciary almost forever.
Nimmo and Friel sent to exorcise
belief in the Magic Circle - whether
true or not. To undermine and despise ...
... those who try to enlighten and inform.
Yet, Dervaird's epitath and elegy
"admitted being indiscreet" and forms
the opinion of a felony.
The 'non-existent' cabal the envy
of crooks of a certain predilection;
forces integrity to the exit.

Eddy’s Elegy
Eddy had been the epitome of melancholy,
In the end he was estranged from his children and his wife,
So this elegy is dedicated to his memory,
To enlighten others of his gift before he made an exit from this life.
Born in Edinburgh, he was a citizen of the world,
Everywhere he traveled he was always made everyone laugh,
He became the envy of the other circus clowns when
“He was the best, ever!” was beautifully written in his epitaph.

Lavender's Letter ''E''
I Envy Willy's Epitaph...
the words that will Enlighten...
his Elegy, the Epitomy...
so sensitive, it's frightenin'...
so Exit right to Edinburg...
there's a rib shack west, on Eddy...
best ribs ever...never be estranged...
from Texas ribs; they're Hot'n'Ready
