The point of poetry
is to release the kraken
universal emotion
sucker punched in the toothache
clobber smacked
upside the holy hour
I want to taste
your full moon
shining outside the covers
of sheathes and veils
This is where we draw the line
between the etch and sketch of happiness
all up and down the mountain
scrawled on cave walls
Entropy Upon Us
complete disorientation
of cosmic stasis
a tragedy of promise in the making
the sun in fifth trigger
snake as shed orbit
the edge of a crisis
diverted before sublimation
