my frayed
this overcast
exacting life
oh what a strange
obsequious day
when sychophantic
crows came
wanting to chasten
needing to murder me 
delivering daunting
unnatural pecks
unexpectedly
sensing those
devilish
supernatural caws
I'm overcome
a certain stench
henceforth doom
Pompei comes to mind
an historical exhibition
galleries of burning flesh
hysterical screams and cries
confounded by plumes
tombs of smoking ash
accompanied by certain death
engaged by super
pounding
heated steam
engulfed by toxic
expounding
albeit clouds
I thought I saw
something looming
concerning benchmark
gloomy stars
accosted by Mars
caught up
under some magic
caustic spell
those autistic stars
apostles of some
redacted charm
suddenly tackled
unceremoniously shackled
blinded and brutally choked
prisoners enslaved
incarcerated
within this
volcanic dystopia
predestiny comes
climate change
with glacial religious ice 
beware
scores of falling rock
explosive political lightning
terrifying bolts
manipulating each electrical
voltage and discharge
creating anti-social whorls 
concentrating anti-social worlds
anti-social words
tattooed onto terrorist bombs
careless amperage
critically appalling
wave after wave
deep seas of social strife
streams of caustic ash
shameless guilt
systematic repealing
revealing more
blameless guns
oligarchs dealing
in lawless bombs
statistically
sound
stocks and psalms
bound and bonded
in these hounded
billionaire times
prophetically
great blue whales
ocean miracles
out of that
world of spherical
great blue sea
miraculously arrive
ruefully blowing
all of this
as well as us
impermanence
washing life
permanently away
into some other
unknown place
some other mother
deliberate druthers
correctly connected
a liquid dimension
another universal
intentional space
what a panicked
feeling of discontent
seemingly we are
disconnected
manic social comment
conventional universe
interconnected
contented God
intentionally
loving marble
and angel food cake
though seldom
if ever
for seldom is
a prophetic state
allowing time or space
to fully cooperate
truly create
such clever
interspatial
predicament
respectfully
operate within this
controversial firmament
reflect on filaments
interject command
on this fomenting day
this tormented planet
demanding calming night
we are challenged
just another
discontented economy
remanding
sinful thought
jailing perfect
left and right
injuriously reflecting
perfect light
furiously branding
notwithstanding
scurrilous revolution
a personal investment
an instrument
of astrology
scientifically asking
what is
religious right
what about
righteous
cosmology
social driving
elements
what is politically
wrong
even though
torrential rain
stays and stays
even when
conniving
complete with oceans
hurricanes
oceanic
tragic daring
crossing another
drastic sea
three act play
along with terrifying
objective tornadoes
inject murder
crows
always say
one two three
pirate propaganda
every barbaric
tactless three way
buccaneers react
perhaps another
senseless
three million
lightning bolts
will strike
be it myth or fact
at least once
or twice
like maybe
three times
again trying
boldly balance
this unfolding
unbalanced
rueful
bleeding day
while shear numbers
sum up
mental strangeness
normally
spilled blood
clearly arriving
through other
arrangements
along with tanks
banking
on a murder of crows
ranks of mercenaries
and other
deranged involuntaries
delivering bloody military pecks
burning a billion granaries
useful for scary impact
accept abnormality
a ritualistic day
I sense all that
zionist crow violence
sorrowful mysticism
I hear all
they are ghastly
nasty fascists
so what silence
though overworked
borrows cynicism
lastly crow cries
sorrowful levels
mournfully trying
tribes and prides
hungry lions roar
shunning armour
stunning regiments
cursed by battle
bloodied shrouds
dark clouds
in my overcast life
all these irreversible
unreformed volcanoes
such costly
shake and bake summations
tormenting storms
cratered formations
boiling up
so much terror
fake information
stirring up
so many embers
into raging burning
around this
blurred world
profound panic
so much
earthly strife
sketchy war
stitched up propaganda
test blasting
tragically impacting
every worthy life
scarring earth
razing political landscapes
marring mountains
scraping scraps of meat
off shattered bone
even murderous crows
want to matter
fluttering in confusion
killed while muttering
then picked clean
reflecting some nightmarish
other worldly
crow dream
sometimes we toil
often we fail
sometimes
we sulk
spoiling
each moiling hour
we're choked
every foiled day
discharging a septic
viscous flow
while lava erupts
near smoking fumaroles
every uncertain widening
corrupting change
fuming poison
out of bottomless pits
dark traffic resumes
touted as great by masters
from deep within bunkers
their frilly hidden holes
even crows know
how to sulk
at times
they too mourn
flying wounded
being torn
by this
tormenting thing
called civilized life
so this
new normal
all this rivalry
is civil
further upsetting 
inevitable
world strife
still I close my eyes
I need to surely try
not to trip and fall
trying not to
just collapse
earnestly
I'm trying
not to fall down
lay down
take one
last breath
then simply die
yet every stirring
learning dream
I've ever dreamt
I've had
vanity and pain
so much
fear and yearning
that has brought me
to this boiling point
has stirred
my roiling pot
ignited another toxic joint
now all my embroiled
boastful dreams
are lost and gone
even those
astronomical things
somehow now
forever dead
ghostly read
every spark
of cosmic life
impossibly extinguished
that damn
revolutionary sun
in cahoots
with climate change
making ocean life
bleak and stark
evolutionary life
a climax dream
awaiting for some
steamy orgasm
new ice age
rue another wicked
taxing dream
convolution stuck
so very deep
inside this wicked
convoluted scene
pray for truth
fully empower
your epic storm
picture battered
embittered
your bullied heart
lay deathly
ghostly still
readjust your fickle soul
another critical
malformation
another historical
information moment
of transmutation
another predictable
institutionally unknown
constitutional transformation
my absolutely
pickled head
blessed by this
another howling
restless revelation
all while laying
in my freaking bed
