Six seconds to the execution
Snow leopard prowls the ledge
Visitor climbs Sandman’s stairs
Vampire bleeds her bluest vein
 Peeps through keyhole while she dresses

House birds speak in tongues

Thin Skin, thin as kool aid
Thighs spot black and blue
The night keeps watch
Every breath a loan
The enemy drinks from the cat’s bowl
Merlot, cabernet, chardonnay
Horseflies howl
Saints flagellate
Try family try

Leaves burn crimson red
Jonagolds fall from orchard limbs

Never take your boots off

Stand guard in savasana
The dying that brings life
