#1837, #1838 and #1839 (#112)

does everything turn

acescent given the time

we have to hope not

*

when i’m acescent

when i am just spouting filth

regret starts to bloom

*

acescent milk fear -

the prayers that are uttered for

the final tea bag.

#1836 (#111)

the metallic din

created by tin-kettlers

i greet with a grin

#1835 (#110)

at the beginning

before we asweddumize

the potential shines

#1834 (#109)

kass-kass then kass-kass

name-calling normally first

but comes with conflict

#1833 (#108)

pertinacious kids

dig in firm to hold their ground

but cannot remain

#1832 (#107)

when i allatrate

whether through force or failure

i will feel queasy

#1831

flesh sterile alone

labor foggily obeyed

lift-off drive bluish
