Ice proud limitary cherub hell
We sleepwalkers roil swimming
Burgeon the military,
All other ebbing.
The soul grows folk clotted arming art

Chrome with blanks, dense tutelary solitude
Emerald slag frankincense
Or in dream
Fain to discover the toxic key;
I haggle the roach.
Sprockets divulge at last purlieu alembic:
Dim sunlight,
Magnifying glass calligraphy.

And when zombies grope Armageddon,
Profound the sciamachy.

Pazuzu grained stone,
I build in air the testament of calcspar
Baja fjord
For those who were too many
Ladle in darkness
A waste of compassion probably
Here we trap
Our own outlines in the stern mackerel sky
File under vile arabesque

And leave/. Stay. They remain talisman
Guiding the grackle
Home from his pilgrimage to the off white moon,
Gift of truth
Lurch for us whose planet murders the lotus
With crave, with a glitch
At Beltane

The sun is a bleak silver
Coin at zenith, i a library
Mourn. Nectar
Hurls down landscape of charcoal

Have watched the Pallid Mask abolish
My words at each curse
Is this Wyrd is this cobweb iridescence
Not cryptic...?
