Tanec Rayl Poems

where it all ended
our bitter crusade in the name of principle
powerless, cursed, progeny of immortal love
embraced with harebrained intemperance
...

our new hospital blocks out the sun
rough worker clocks installing
mirrors within, without, that patients might
turn and realise that oh!
...

Sidetracked from a side-track I trekked across
To where she lay; languid, uncomplaining
Her words tottered out, stabbed at grace, fell flat,
Consumed themselves and choked
...

I hear the analysts say
in times of transition assist leaders struggling with change by
facilitating introduction to success, so
tiger, manson, law
...

audience be kind
this speech will change my life, I have
time to amend some of the finer points
concerning which, I am inclined
...

the decision sits within the jurisdiction
of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Ruh-roh
a flannel board, a flannel suit
walking in the mountains
...

The tooth was there.
...

why my friends laughed
how can we use the evidence
it's possible to posit
...

Nature, prodigal beyond measure
Writes an involuntary and unconscious memoir
With rash fingers: life is nothing without appearances
...
