Rippled reflection
Inverted painting
Image inflecting
Warbled perfection
Hollow grey neon
Dead ghosts of nightlife
At bright city stoplight
In bright city daylight
Rumbles and whistles
Green light a go light
Snuffs out the brake lights
Long chains of brake lights
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ambergris

Sallow and pale
Hollow grey shell
Hidden from sight
Ambergris inside
Restrained, controlled
Encapsuled soul
To let…it go
Tears a gaping hole
Explode, expel
So volatile
Bile and vitriol
Marvelously vile
Out on the floor
Frightening, beautiful
Glowing, sputtering
Opalescent fire
Slowly, it buoys up
Sweetens with time
Fragrant, pearloid
Afloat on the brine

Guppy coming, guppython
Double crossing chromosomes
Breeding, feeding, eating young
Schooling food for guppy mom
Lamprey light and goby swarm
Goby soma, baby bomb
Lampricidal breeding ground
Swelling, choking, smothering
Turtle dove and guppy love
More or less a product of
Lamprey teeth and goby bones
Guppy clones and chromosomes

What’s up Jennie…what went wrong?
We both conked out and slept too long
Squid life, give the ink of gone
Look around and nothing’s wrong
Focus deep and focus long
Sprawled upon the floor, a faun
Awake from deep and sleep is gone
Tentacles still gripping on
Shake the husband, wake the wife, take the alabaster knife

A house is built, but nobody’s home
No one is home, it’s nobody’s home
Got what you want, thought what you need
Everything in place, everyone agreed
False sheen fades soon, new falls away
Lost and alone, more every day
Another year gone, still all alone
No patina forms on a house that’s not a home

Pilot light, lit
Counter hatch, lino cut
Wine and rust, rings around the tin
Kitchen, home of butchers, bakers and green homewreckers
Wrinkled pears die
While mold empires come alive
Vinegar, tannins bleed and seep
Live or die, butchers, bakers and green homewreckers
Cinnabar eyes
Faceted, blurry sight
Fruity flies, drunk and high in loopy flight
Clapped flat by butchers, bakers and green homewreckers

Sno brite and glistening
Diamonds surround us
Gin clear and crystalline
In hand they twinkle
As soon as they are found
These snowflakes are gone
Just dew drops and sting
Our hands are like spring
Orange lemon, grape ape
Chocolate, blue lake
Sno cone dunce cap
Easy to grab
