During No Arrival

missing during bad weather strong winds and fog
mountainous eastern province lost contact distress call
flying low crashing mountain darkness limited visibility

huge arsenal of weapons stashed in suitcases and holdalls
automatic assault rifles followed arrival of motor cruiser
grenades flash bangs pepper sprays appeared via video link

deal is no further forward tactical rationale behind move
unwittingly did job required really believe a fake result
that utterly deluded from opening seconds a farcical claim

Perspective of Lakes

The heart's content is a loudmouth;
Twitter says it's followed by one person and several liars.
This is your big chance to ignore it

in a bid to get your messages
from a more generous messenger.
At the last trump, the world is leapfrogged

to make empty theater.
But she's a million-gallon soup
and she's put a tributary on the river indefinitely.
