Snapchat Chinatown 



Mists skirt up aghast 

Mongolian lights slit



Over scattered orange skies

Streets scream אוי געוואַלד



Tamilese Tempests

Scrapers iron Sinks



Black facades inbe——

Tween Twain Feigned



Sincerity over Euro Police

Sirens Flares Fades To Static



Dawn Rise Elderly Green Tea

윷노리Brut Ciroc sh



Opium & Mao Tze-Tounges Halls Στύξ 

Rings Grim zn.t n.t ḥˁb 巫蠱————







Dolores Hades 



Trumpets cigs sax smoke

Notes dart dissonant orders

Haiku harakiris kamikaze







Daoist Lesbos



Sundance Sabbath Nocturnes

Chinatown Crystallizes Quixotic 

Acid reigns on Venetian Horus

Isis Aegean orange lanterns

Skies light up Byzantium 





——                            Silence                ——





Yang does not say Helios 

To any pathological Greco

Lunar glimmers glance off 

Glints of alliterative solace

Romanov London winds



Archetypes chimes 

Charms Orwell

Under Grecian

Guernica Rawls

Slaughter house

Ist mural Nozick

Anarchy states

Utopia mirages——

Forms un-form until 

Avila il duomo——

Il duce touché



If words mattered 

At das point in time

Wie banned them



Already the serpent

Has gazed supremely 

Spouting constricting 

Disinterested synthetic 

Ally engulfing worlds 

Without amen what

Contemporal calls 

True passion plays

Shrouds of Turin

Tyrannical Acts 

As One voice







Cubano Opiates



Strings of violet lights hang——

Dancing Cross Cigar

Necklaced chiseled fauxfur——
