MAGMA shoves tectonic plates, and quakes
BLURT out of the earth like regretted words.
TREAT the resulting wounds on the
SCALE of natural disasters.

What is big?
TREAT of continental plates,
SCALE of discourse at planet’s scope.
MAGMA here is turtle’s back,
BLURTed oft at eruptions, only large to us.
Regret
BURST a hole in the
LINEN beanbag; as a result the
TRAIN of itty bitty beans
SWEEP up I now have to.
All Valley Tournament
BURST of punches and kicks made the
LINEN gis rustle and whisper:
TRAIN all you want, but no mercy.
SWEEP the leg.
The Man with the Straw Hat
TRAIN platform stifles under air’s hot blanket,
LINEN suited man fans face with hat’s straw brim.
BURST of noise as engine arrives and brakes. Now
SWEEPs down from carriage a girl, runs and jumps into his arms shouting Grandpa! into the perfect day.
Use and Discard
CRIED havoc for Empire, future dogs of war slipped loose,
MACRO level unseen, supremacy’s haughty
ARMOR blocking sight beyond the now. So:
SHEIKs wooed, discarded like engine parts for moments of ambition, no true destination in view.
Broken Light, Broken Walls
#1:
Back in the day
METAL, the Meccano was; metal
MODEL in Meccano led to panic;
PANIC of a clueless parent; by
A GATE, made A GETA-way.
Stolen Cosmos
PANIC in Emperor’s guard;
METAL bars sawed through,
AGATE disc, reverenced cosmic
MODEL: gone. The earth trembles.
Known to a mind departed
VINYL hoard, worn and crackly, songs of generations past,
DOWDY house’s ornament slipped through time to dated,
STEINway unplayed, yellowed sheets mid score on stand,
PANELed library guarding books known to a mind departed.
