English courts are stars and garters
As American courts give fines
Mostly to trailer park martyrs
When an indiscretion inclines.
So why are the English better
In matters of jurisprudence
Like timely use of a fetter
Or, implementation of fence?
I suspect old puritan stock
And all their angry descendants
Perversely crave to punish a flock
Of low rent codependents.
But now that the internet's here
They can worship something gracious
Such as a midnight sonneteer
And his elegance capacious,
Which recommends more...

The Witch Patch
Anyone in the know can see the faint mist of a breath floating up and over the Mandrake bushes. A witch is hiding there. It’s cold outside and like magic, her breath can only be seen by like creatures. They call her Cat, it’s short for Chastity. She is a young witch just a month shy of turning 13 and is quite a mischievous witch. She lives in a village that’s not visible to the average eye “The Ordinary World” knows we exist and others like us, but are not exactly sure where we live. Most ordinary folk think it’s somewhere deep in the woods over by Garrison‘s Farm & Orchard, and they’d be...

Her Words Smile
Her words smile through the page.
Is it poetry or thoughts whose
loveliness comes from their honesty?
Is she beautiful?
I think so.
To know her words
is to see her beauty.
Can I be smitten by words?
It has happened before.
Where are we going
on this dark night drive
in the desert? Please Faith,
write another word to give me light?

Hollow words
He said, "Dispense
with pretence". It
made sense, although
now I know that
means no more of his insincere chat.

The Mighty Anvil
The weight of reality
wears best after the fact
like a bdsm latex body suit
there is no escape!
Nothing anyone says from
that moment on matters
You done fucked up bitch!

The law of love

Arrival of the birds :
True Love cures all
if you can find it
generally speaking
you cannot look for love
instead it finds you
if you’re worthy …

Still (Collaboration with Wafflenose)
What are you waiting for
at that measured distance,
submerged in silence?
Perhaps you are hoping
that time will turn backwards;
that history will rewrite itself.
Or do you await a rescuer
to take you away from here?
On the streets,
last night's fog
remains.
The meagre glow
of the waning,
infinite sequence
of footprints
that we left
is just discernible.
My eyes linger once more
upon your distant silhouette.
I glance behind me one last time
before I leave.
In...

Nope
Hello?
Yes this is rehab calling
with a collect call for Jackie,
from Jr Rodrigues,
do you accept the charges?
NO!

The reverberation
of his words
hung in the air,
resonating
within her soul
from afar.
Snippets of phrases
echoed in
the caves of their ears;
a train coming out
of a golden seashell;
screech and whistle
pulsating in its wake.
Half-formed phrases
vibrated into song
which, beating,
grew so strong.
In a harmony glow
so far from home
as a red drop
in the neverending snow,
they listened.
