Smolder

That OCD sly stone look on my face
is the armor brick in my heart
no pebble filter to what empaths bring

Listen to logic to comprehend not inferred fracture
sculpted vibration of a baritone
past-explosive BEAST king

That’s knowledge rumbled slow boiling
volcanic stirred to epiphany
elusive c/o/n/-fused delay to react

Core touch on low pitch growl
in lava crawl to docile hairs in ovation
erect on nape back

Chip off the block erupted sculpted mane
coarse knotty dread
prickly quills defend to enforce points

Pride rock antisocial stance
electrified stature perch mountainous above
jaws crack to enthrall disjoint

Incredibly loud bare-naked vocal
throated tones resound
as echo miles across open air plains

Fixated confessionals
track decibels jetted roaring out
locomotive thought train

Blindfold conversing to coax
native spirit animal myths
shadows surround pack full

Paul Bunyan axe cloud hovered
with blue Ox in giant scene
yodeling serenade storms no Bull

Rolling thunder captured to melody
trembles to wind
whistling stress rustling tree leaf

Danger close
questionably polar
the way switchblades blast unsheathe
