Moist

I will sharpen these claws on dry savannah surface,
gargle gravel, lockup libido, and let the mosquitos make a meal of me.
I will dance with desperation to dark drums,,
let hunger hug these ribs...and I will writhe in wrath while waiting.

Pacing a trench behind imagined bars of circumstance and karma,
My eyes only shift to keep focus on the prey.

Give only a hint of daylight, to illuminate one weak link in the ties that bind,
and I will explode forth with all the furious passion of a mouth full of teeth.

And rhythm of pumping limbs will match the rumble of purple streaks,
as another gazelle learns about Darwin the hard way.

I wield these instruments well, fingertip scapels unsheathed at the nexus,
of where intention is satisfied and bloodlust simply screams.

Catharsis is a two way street, one frame is released to sustain another,
the beauty is red, warm, wet and reeking of life.

Born for the hunt, dying until the next one.

Scream back at the darkness roar
The fear's gnarly teeth gnash back
It wants to steal your soft heart
And I refuse to let you let it win.

I dare not speak
These actions ring more true.
Steel gazes into the din
Steel your gaze, and into the din.

Cacti dangerous,
Venomous Bacteria
Hope for tomorrow and hold it close,
for this place thrives upon the back of its absense.

You asked to be the deliverer,
pointed the faults out as your own,
to rectify with the noble truth of your intention,
is it the downfall of the throne? you tell me.

Better yet, well met, for they forget
so very quickly.
Nobility is not the crown,
blood runs so blue that the hue itself drowns.
And the fates are so picky.

Never let it touch air,
if you need tearful catharsis,
join the garments in the closet
and let the darkness adorn you.

Protect yourself, and envelope the meek
for it is thier sake you keep.
A king serves the people,
and the libra scales never equal.

Wrapped in the plastic of elastic
found bound and bloated round
underground sounds
trapped by casket lids.

Remain the same
in triumph and defeat
unchanged,
heed temperature, birds
and range of the rain...

And take what is yours.
