Pocus Hauntus

Tender and existential in flagrante intertwined

Privy unctions
meddle and blow

monkey boots
rush loose

like a flaming bridle
rue and crow.

Nihilism enlists
the sublime

pocus hauntus
purgatorial and divine

the tender 
and existential

in flagrante 
intertwined.

Fleshing out
the moody 
and the spin

the differences 
between
anguish and sin?

Pockets open 
to the wind

misery overruns 
its masks

its taste for sin
for rabbits in the bin -

Call me bad
call me glad

resolution 
devolves into objections ? 

perforces my casual 
insurrections.

Meantime lusts gusts 
dusts off the crow

for depth of hoofprints 
in the snow.

Hell embraces 
pointful angelic faces

to extirpate 
the disquiet.

Turned up
turned around

deep wading 
wrought in place

knocked up 
by its bat and grace.
