Corolla
2-14-16

Given two wings like the great eagle
Looking for ten rooms but one will suffice
East Vegas come back into view
When we pay the price
Stay on task
When we shall go I spread my net
And bring them down as fowls of the heaven
Yet chastised with them
I wish I had a dollar for each instance
By wrath we saw this beast
He has granted it was given him
She's more a monorail than a Ferris Wheel
I once thought I knew
Looking for Jack Kerouac
To find what I might lack
And Babylon's fall foretold
Here is wisdom
Let him that can see know this number....





Perianth
2-14-16

Freezing ten feet 'neath the ground
I sit down to lobster and coleslaw and a side salad
Blessed is he whom watches
As the winepress is trampled outside the city
And blood comes up to horses' bridles
And we are still subject to idols
For furlongs in weights and measures
Thrust in your sharp sickle
You have given them blood to drink
My tears are holding back for a flood and her brink
I look at my phone and count to twenty
It looks like herring for we have plenty
For another perianth for calyx and corolla
O, King of the saints
Break out your paints
For you alone are holy
Twenty-two chapters
And dreams of stombolli...






Periaqueductal
2-15-16

They have fled from me
Always two coats and three changes of raiment
Around our aqueduct
Our periaqueductal
In this I have no purpose
As Job does no particular placement
O, what am I hiding from in all uncertainty
Only the slipstream still flows
And Jesus indeed knows
As we dream out loud for the juggernaut
In the freeze frame
Come the harlot apostate Christendom enters
"No power over us come victory of the Lamb"
Babylon the great is fallen...
