Poetry unfolds patterns

dawn on we
only when they see
wisp lines of truth
from benign even
  weave in Needle minders

   written
in wings of a moth

  Basting in banality
  In a finality of moments
 that break with reality

Seams cutting at edge

Poetry is the prick of

Bringing enemies to

A global horde of
memetic Methodius
seeding Cyril's florettes
of freedom
on phonemes of the absurd.
 Each barb carrying
 a spark of Olah's 
   seed
seeking
 Accursed nonsense, insatiate
 A perfidous serpent
  crucifying sense
  sliced by Kosynsky's Klowns
and on both banks
truth and freedom flow

Unheard savagery
Glares from history’s
 silver laced eyes
Pointed to 
Hollowed skies
Painted by tyrants who see
babes but vessels
To torture in vassal states 
And rip Peace
Bank to bank
Sirens wail,
Sounds drill in bits turning on echos
Of shattered pasts.

Ripping
Into ears as 
Silver sleeves
Streak across shrouded 
Clouds and torture now
Descends from heavens 
above

Repeated history whips 
 Butchering facts in relentless
Attacks on veins running deep
In partitioned bodies of
Children and Nations

Promises of forked tongues 
Deliver silver drenched
Sons and a 
Nation undone

Until Brave Act

Ultimus pacta
Carried on backs of loved 
Ones

 the fallen
And a call for 
Children to come
Home.

 Of facts

 Truths
Regurgitated,
evaporated
From swirls
In nectar
That dance in false 
colors
All  around.
So some get fated to
Exasperated flapping
To  keep colonies from
Collapsing
 By cooling combs
And tomes of 
energy
Immune to enemies
Who douse
Langstroth houses
In mistruths
Spewed from 
Louses 
To protect
A honey
As We.
Content
among  flowers
that surround. 
A broken Birch
 branch
scoured in tooth
spurge shadows
cast
 dancing
dirges of besmirched
towers 
Canopy snapping fingers in 
rhythms that linger,
Yet
we do not hear
on verge of surging
into  submerging folds
of deciduous matter
But
for now suspended
in broken
reality

Shattered 
  signals
dangle in eerie
peace found
 only in erasure
 when life
fought out of
existence
for only wires
dance now
dangling
 moving gently
in winter's breeze
tossing shadows on
cast iron
fence bent
fingers 
scraping
humanity's
garden
 overgrown
with shrapnel
 and rebar
iodizing vines
festering atop
cinder blocks
and glass
of empty boxes
blown out
windows 
to look upon 
a courtyard crushed
Yet 
the Oak
where the children play
It still stands
to hedge
a bet
at precipice
of humanity
 despots pour
porridge of 
insanity
 which
alleges
knowledge at
ledges and
 wedges
that dredge
 the lowest
common
 denominator

Sludge drudged
for haters
and splainers

The loons who
swoon 
  over
Buffoons
 and goons
Yet
do not judge
nor condemn
 who holds
the spoon
for it is the Chef
who deftly poisons
truth as a hedge
against reality
