Faustian Fleas
Lipids zip along a panned diversion, 
cashing humpback heels for coronary carpet torque, 
stringing shoeless buckles skyward. 
Rapport mingles with speared treason, 
issuing shellfish to pointed stereo ribs, 
gathering tight apes. 
Slurps herd parabolic sisters into postcards, 
guessing stark entrails from enclave bottoms. 
Not to buy insoluble stains from venal urns, 
antsy herbivores rake osmotic chrysanthemums 
over clipboard fables, seeping under fueled purists. 
Null cotter pins revoke putative stentorian milk, 
sputtering when chosen toys dwarf a soothing newlywed. 
Bilingual gymnasts ease pastoral grates aside, 
extolling warm Victrolas. 
Revelatory greyhounds spot Faustian fleas 
on phosphorescent commissars, 
pending soybean fusion.
Cookie
Sand crawls beneath 
a soldered cookie’s 
scribbled thong, 
dueling gravy to a 
statutory standstill 
in moonshine facial 
trickle stump’s 
concubinal 
virulence. 
Her slacks 
hang pouting 
in diametrically 
crepuscular 
twine agreement’s 
peninsular trimester, 
foisted foibles leading 
strange luminaries from 
watershed synecdoche 
partitions of Velcro vermin 
to voluminous v-neck petters. 
Wedged wayward 
Jell-O boats flutter, 
staffed with equestrian 
daredevils piercing 
soothing scythes 
for chandelier 
accompaniment 
with menthol sword 
profusion’s coyly 
prefigured grind. 
Sixteen Doubts
Sixteen doubts caress a cerebellar sampling shunt 
with bailing coven wristwatch twinge serration myths, 
locating the duly muffled sire of sworn dimples 
in the pure pubescent smile of android stoolie crows 
on necrophilic daytime creamery diffusion spokes 
near hub town pardon scurrying nests of blown knee 
Punic territory ale. 
If sex were hauled to cracked upper staircase 
catacombs by cataclysmically inclined plaster peelers, 
what would becalm the titanic question barkers 
of all incipient iterations of receptivity’s born retrieval,
cored to steamy ground improvement snow graphs? 
Evenly sundered sots implore bland wagoners 
to defalcate enduring singers twice a day in spritely 
carrion traceries of codfish potion smoker krill, 
posturing for blemished cloture counterpoint impellor hogs, 
flowing round the hip-length sighs through featurettes 
of well-constructed sallow boys who warp blue alley byways 
into mime tureens to swallow hurtled gentry scavengers 
in balky coder hovels.
