The tower eats the the children's dreams
And writes them down in magazines
Bee stung
Man hung
Over Vessa's broken nail
The witches brew from Satan's tongue
Stored in a cask without a bong
Drink deep
Thoughts creep
Dodging Vessa's dirty smile
Your breasts they never leave my eye
Your sex an ancient lullaby
Hand firm
You squirm
I think Vessa's going home
A tug and tear of rabbits cloth
I fake a flying abott's moth
Cork bark
Birth mark
Upon Vessa's rounded cheek
The life that formed in mother's womb
Pinned oddly up in sister's room
Evil bitch
Solo hitch
Leaving Vessa's clammy grip
Wow! I can't tell you how great it is to see your work showcased on your blog, Corey. And this is an amazing comeback: gritty, sensual, terse. Fine work, my friend.

Yay!!! you came by! I love the toad site, very cool, trying to get the hang of all the ins and outs. I linked, but it said to leave a comment but couldn't find the comment button. Starting to move all my stuff off of the wc and on to here, so many things that are not backed up. Thanks for the swift kick in the ass...you know I need that sometimes. Ready to go a courtin...lol.
