Hunger Bay

thoracic madrigal compendia
timeworn distillation tints a lofty threat
impending sequence deviates

anticipation rosters shed rumor badges

intervallic carnage in blue detente
bow-tie incursion conjuncts a looming
predicate staring through the red

blush fixation tabloids cluster elixir dreams

evanescent viscera magic
blinks past the shuttered estuaries
no bush intending threads

pineal incitement trousers
cursing soft addendum polish
parmesan installation fugue

tongues until lather blooms a weather fulcrum

hatters belittle the middling
isomer fed to biscuit calendars
while the hyphen cling fails

to deliver abraded leverage
to chimneys prepared to file soot
against a simmering backdrop

dread clung to abdominal pursuits impending


War Story

cinematic transfer
upending a conduit marker
surreal tablature barked

taps against a daylong bugle rant

parch-lipped fury bites
requited stitching cross-cut
unmarried jump luggage 

bound for moratorium glory seeding

a stark light rapt assembly
marked the last remnant hitch
pending darkness panting

effigy platters frames past detonation

obstacle cling darkens
the slow mendacity regime
screening empty seats

to plot the chase scene of their ascent


Knowing What to Lurk For

camel panties 
a conundrum if the sea fits

the bosom of disregard
a surfeit to forfeit its blood lapel
whatever dispels illusion

candor hawks sharking coral

	*

gavel tidings
a double conjure searching

a sepian incantation in the blood

discarded blossoming
entrails fit to counter proper failing
shards of gasket

            *

on the block
a passing fantasy entails
pocket drift
and cusp assurance

lurching animal hides
revealing music impels
a portable fancy

swelling inside the hiding


Midnight Blonde

a cult mystique
gliding on a slow take

curving the shoreline
to beach a tanning salon
discount the parking

swollen panatelas in disarray

their aching vision
an eyesore's tide reflection

along a missing boardwalk
tango trolley whisper mute
fascination planes in limbo

pique reclining 
revealing barely enough
to  shadow dreams

making empty on a full moon night


Glyph Remake

photon umbrage thickets
labor the picket line's' lore pickers
thundering orbital storage

ventilation fragments greet a lost return

lumbering phantom shadows
quicken their penumbral measure

a night defection lurks
the hint of darkened light
rafting from shore cells

brick memories breed a tadpole haste

in the sweat of thickening times
the trident speaks a breaking crest
no wet leather to market gear

inured to frequency's pitch
or banded to cellular diffusion
leakage secrets pander

their quickened memories
caught them short on paste
while paper left for clay


Night Model

fashion dusk
rehearsal swelters bacon

shutters improve
release

            *

light parcels filled
weight to sight and time

assembly
brackets incarnate

fled to greater intransigence

            *

brusque reversals
staked the poppy belt

aficionado cake removers
tilled the fortress tins

at dawn

timelines bred a slow pursuit


Firing Passion

color wheels fake slow rebuttal
differential pantry flakes divide
autumnal mitosis gatherings
headline the declining scenario
demitasse a scenic roulette taken
to fill a tonic certainty undefined
the deadline more than chronic
settings imbue their spirited rebuke
with or against any appellation
sealing the premature frost ache
before clenching the motto vicar
leaking spirit drops on zipper flame
a candy-fed renunciation tractor
reads tortoise theorems on the sly
wears its light hypotenuse tangled
to fashion a face of grim redress
a silicon radiance tastefully flayed
across the bulge of playful minions
dividing their tinted vortical sweeps
between the sodium social repellent
and the hermetic contention suite
enamored for grasping emblem fat
when taken to small hammer farms
those breeding crescents feed
hostel varnish to scorpion capes
shed simpatico lather doldrums
their omnivores fled when tarnished
from the battle for the inner prefix
left to garnish word rapport stables
aching a dutiful semblance creature
along the nagging thoroughfare
scurrilous venom stragglers breed
pity starlets custard greens allowed
to successful couch auditions
but left the storied scene unparted
combing a heart as narrative hair
fit linear to heft bluster tonic full
generations apart in style brush
gorilla pandemic rotation distaste
aside from the corner an easy lip
turned to a flippant mountain curve
with no guard rail left for protection
from any correlative angle spreads
the rhythm grown diffuse as pulse
across unfocussed sonic spectrums
built to last through swamplike fervor
or gelato pits where strivers cast
their vacant trail repellent to ambush
debacles cascading to engineer
a mirage rejoinder to stripling data
faster than implicit lines can wait
for colonoscopy transfer sheets
to bound relinquished garter mints
from a deleterious isomer collage
turns repeated candelabras morbid
in the noon light fading to thunder
clouded thinking in butane mode
starts carnage rattle's low epiphany
under breath as uttered to parlay
mirrored transit motel reflections
to ceiling fans' relentless applause
regardless of the appendectomy
fallen through the classic discard
while delirious prophets make a bid
on vision futures left a sight unseen
for a greater show of baked feeling
no matter the style or its rendition
as anomic blanking sheds memory
blankets before the cover explodes
the lift shards drifting a slow ardor
from the lingering flame of arson


On the Rebound

backgammon
clasping bloody farewell

to encroach center chambers
ready all day to struggle breakfast
carried hope spectacles on either

tail 
between his success
flowers
conquered the anteroom

serpentine shaking the distance
filed incalculable climbing panel
the path missed battle to pass

over wrong tin dinner
promised the street daylight
afterward in color

                    complete fanlight
clinked rubber experiences


Pained Renovation

steam-caked intimidation

 factors

stiletto feels 
lugubrious saturation points
               toward pinnacle

            a                     deer
    game		   frozen
     rendering               headlights
	
       superfluous necessities

at the squidbilly roundup telecast
high heels knifing runway sharks
actors gilled fresh roundup cards

      the flash 
            of a pen changing
    the arc
                                 of its sweep

breaking
    the line

            before the lenses fog
            a carcinoma blessing

                    over a nitrate arousal
                 worn through a cinema wig

while hatters madden the screen to pitch

            véritéisomers
                  that curve against the trolley
                  under a bender's yield


slow motion innuendo soufflé
bargains the scuttle to crossing

...lampoon trajectories
            isolate their frolic days
          to end scamper search 

     before the replay virus
     settles in refinished comfort

          sheltering a pristine animus


Changing Season

autumnal differential
flakes
              imbue the deadline scenario

     with a certainty undefined

or filed 

              demure leafcake rebuttals
    burn chronic settings
              more scenic
                                         than sonic

to the pantry dividers

    impelled
                   to spirit
	      their rebuke

            with color wheel roulette


Past intonations convey
the purity of empty transport

    (serial deportment in denial)

a fluid transit
buttons a tension grid
before
               the lurid lexicon

                        pivots

terms of acclamation
swivel to endearment
when plying attitudes

                                           undead
                        or
undying

as the definition
surrounds
                        platitudinal surveys
		
splint an epidermal page reactor


The colloquial rampage pattern
shatters its diction frost enabler
when foreground smears enlarge

           saturation embargoes

                   caustic as the nightly edge

                             flayed against the middling
