scotch stench stained teeth
tear into tangible day dreams
dragging out the last lonely joint

jolly and joyous

modulating marvelously
white-tail flee fearlessly
across paralyzed ponds
shadows in the pale light
back to a reality
I would rather not see
the darkness that encapsulates
when flower's pungent tenacity
deteriorate and diminish
