fetish, soul scathing
darkness, charred
ends, shadows
in the cellar…forgotten
people…vile truth

The Webs
They were so beautiful. The weblike pods appeared overnight in city centers, farm fields and small villages. News of their presence swept the globe as the sun rose over the horizons of each time zone. The greatest minds of science were called to investigate, and areas cordoned off so as not to disturb them.
One such expert carefully snipped a small piece to take back to the lab. The netting fluttered softly as he turned away. The horrified look on the faces of onlookers made him crouch as if to protect himself as a spider-like creature swooped in devouring him.

Resolution Me Not
no, I will not
make resolutions I can’t keep
no, I will not
this yearly pressure has to stop
what of the ‘benny’s’ I might reap?
lose some weight…perhaps get more sleep…
…no… I will not

desideratum
revolution’s call,
vicissitude’s avidity,
a dreamer’s longing…
metamorphosis happens
when faint hearts become fearless
