Terse in verse


Jacques Andre Boiffard, Big Toe series, Untitled, 1929


Pride of the cartel,
Was a lost cause,
He swerved to his right,
Fell for the gloss.

Blank noise from the sun,
Blackened her hopes.
She stuck to the pole,
Like silhouettes of gods.

The bride loved her mother,
But She fell onto their arms,
The wolf and his other,
Half brother, the lover.

The prisoner smelt freedom,
Died an instant death,
Poisoned air, they say,
Is free and easy, these days.

killer man..wrong profession

the desperate urge to control,
fate, destiny and self,
but we orbit the sun, seeing
everyday the ironies of being.

taut and tight

poisoned airs, they say,
is free and easy, these days.

a whack that numbs gently with a mocking smile .......
