Frail Cult Broken

Outside the peninsula's first church,
three surprise assassinations.
Seismic family collapse.

Styled military pomp eclipsed
undercover mourner troves.
Absent bugles, hometown strategists

ordered laboratory discipline.
A toppled blouse earthquaked
history's registered desire.

Submarine Skeletons of Scottsdale

A former heavyweight sailor
in Noida shocking young children
like half-a-dozen news agencies.

The buzzing industrial dry gutter of a Capital,
cocaine-powered, sexually revealed,
suffered a minor domestic discovery.

All skeletons detained
in the sheriff's vehicle, officials said,
were to be freed under supervision.

Fated Sin Emissions

Hatred of
their drastic industries,
hatred of their legal rituals

polluting
the filtered night, stark as
a spiritual malnutrition.

celebration, but god will use his explosive influence

to be greater than most, more profound. over

and again, true men suffer, their cries written over
ulcers, echoes of the underdog, while killings influence
or inhibit bewildered lawyers who want to be popular.

Astronaut Seeking Operations

Redundant astronaut seeking long-term attention
including unique nurses to participate in
somewhat uncommon operations.

Activities conducted with proper care,
but some doctors arrested, incarcerated,
then released and followed.

Only three outcomes possible so far
but none avoid collapsing consolidation.
Few losses, one exception excluded.

Today's Fallen Witness

I woke up this morning to cagey
government forces in a war of words.
These two billionaires baited

cowering civilian officials for talk show
accounts. Their concern was heavy
as Christmas charity. Subsequent BBC

video images: nightclothes peppered
with bloodstains, rumbling tanks convoy
to Haditha, a local explodes.

Global Liver Hurricane

What transplanted family finally
states its daughter--no remedy--
married a future corpse? She’ll bag custody,

share the will. Legal custody,
Dr. Dignity, is not medical, never finalizes
the pressures of that fatal remedy,

that failure of eleventh-hour remedies
for overdoses on Christmas domestics. Custody
rides on real medicine cabinets. That’s final.

Burden of Fury

A soldier, a convert, he sees
nuclear Christians loosed
on his eternal country.

They plagued the North with narcotic
Rapture, leveraged Revelation on young
brothers for capital in heaven.

A political Saturday in Arizona,
his unifying blood prayer said,
he steps out among the people.

Bye-bye Electrical Houston

Welcome to our first online execution.
The condemned array themselves
in masks, with swords and clubs.

Angel-headed gamers balked,
botched the topless killings
of three criminal spacewalkers.

So, our final method:
Reroute console wires past
the straps for lethal burns.
