HARD TIES BENEATH Who Cares?

              
      Course scanned consider the honor grail : stakes deserve
      to bleed that brace your ride in the elevator; that's
      how alligators halter pride . red light bride take off. 
                                                                                 Soft one 
      day lava lumbers forest clearance nonconcerning rage
      found . Palm torso huggers top over. 

      Digits paused no longer count . holdings so long!
      loop Uterails back to Start : privacy parts reset
      payment plan beak speculum enclosed.

      Enough egg samples . why crack the conundrum in the first
      place : What human means? renting wolf and lamb share
      hunger and sometimes the gut fed well goes merde! same
      cold ‒ foil Brand wrap Serve self Sell ‒ dog bowl.

      So how you holding up?

                                  Try not to lose blood pushing the end
      c
rap shore free : donors pitbill you run . whipped
      dream done nipple peckers circle.

      find the fork! hack a path through somehow. Atoms all
      split like tomorrow creep . make so you lie your bed.

         LESSING AND CHARON 

         *CLOSING his eyes again, Lessing is engulfed
         By memory of all the women he has
         Ever known, all their faces splashing over
       His own, as though to wash away all its lies of love
         Which he, through them, has etched there, all its shadows
         Of nostalgia for hunts women cannot bear,
         Knowing little, nor caring to hear, of them.

         The sheer wordless ‘wisdom’ of women’s blind strength
         Is what Charon now feels he has been bearing
         In his shoulders of challenging aches and shrugs
       Of perverse disavowals and faithful betrayals.
        

        (from “Charon’s Anchors” by Brian Chan, 2018)
