Our Only Hope

Half-cocked outrage shaking in the sweaty palms of the illiterate.  Triggered idiots shooting off their mouths. Mass shooters of the Meta…

Flower Child in the Poison Garden

Blackberry sunsets and willow tree wisps. Old iron bars wrapped in nightshade’s kiss. Stinging nettles hung from bleeding heart pedals. Empty-eyed specter of vine-choked abyss. I’m the herald of hemlock, your purveyor of pain. Sinking as I sleepwalk, wrapped in waves of wolfsbane. My bouquet betrays the senses, a fragrance…

Oh, sing me to sleep, carry me to coma. If you wanted my soul, well baby, I think I owe ya. The stitches that held us together fell apart at the seams, but I’ll always remember you when the blood hits the moonbeams. Yeah, When the blood hits the moonbeams. …
