The Fascists in Ukraine Have an Old Friend

"Western Capital will liberate you as it has Iraq, Afghanistan, Estonia, Libya, etc.!"

Manicured Lawnzilla

"It is not impossible to witness an abnormal deviation in the hidden or visible operations of the laws of nature."
-----Lautreamont, Le Chants de Maldoror, Book IV, 7.

Bright Blue Seas Above

So that, above in yonder place,
Where love abides, and all is rest,
All we may be forever blest.

---Confessio Amantis, John Gower.

Contra Contract, Love's Work

Turbines spin dominion.
The seductive hum
of articulate current
promises heaven.

Dour knaves rouse jaded monks.
Seasoned moths know better
than to singe wings in fire.

Burnt skin skies
flush my love's eyes
weeping cinders.

No politics or apology,
I'm in love with this world.
It blooms bright
as skin burns.

All turmoil,
turbines' hum,
washed away by
warm blood.
