The horror
Spews from the fuehrer,
Nutrients for snorers
Never cocksurer.
Brown-shirted
Jerks fresh from the kirk
Circus the streets berserk :
A term for the worst.
*[ WSB ].
Confusion distilled through perfusion,
The particulates loosen and fall
Small and lazuli through welkin windows,
Myriad and million-wide .
Fluid pools, slows, and then flows
Overing from rivulets into rivers
Racing into oceans of deep thinking .
Trenched past bioluminescent snares
Between sliding plates and violent vents,
Tubeworms emerge . Geysers rise
Like a bloom unfolding,
Stripping the weight of darkness .
Distilled by the thermal core,
The essence thins to a ghost,
Rising vaporous through the brine,
Homing high to gather cumulus .
Pressure builds to yield heavy, silver rain,
Pouring past windows, casting maps again .

A fjord of feces on the Ford
Heralds frowardness of this Gerald,
A spear of frowning esprit flung from the sea .

Finds harbor
By sum device
Of aesthetic twine
That hogties
Nous with design :
Sounds atavic time .
Din hovers,
Fills the divide,
Rounds pathetic rhyme .
*[ WSB ].
The sick and the well :
The grouping .
Not moving ; but removed .
So tired .
Fatigue pats you lovingly,
Murmuring, “ There, there .
— Shhh . ”
No impetus at all, from all
That inpired prior
The virus .
*[ WSB ].
No turtles that paddle distantly down;
No planets rattle around terra lown.
No dome with windows flung open to rain;
No storm god in blue scopes an icebound plain.
*[ WSB ].
Ready, set :
To go
At a moments notice .
The air between the stars billows
Black, and swallows any shimmer .
*[ WSB ].
