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.

A former heavyweight sailor

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.

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.

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

cowering civilian officials for talk show

as Christmas charity. Subsequent BBC

with bloodstains, rumbling tanks convoy
to Haditha, a local explodes.

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

on my naked body. Surprisingly, new miles
arrive tarlike, natural as a wary death
and I volcano each discovered year.
