More of Not Enough

Here are some snippets of some--have composed so many more, so the some is no sum--poems I've written in the past seven or so months; I'd provide the entireties but it seems most publishers count blog postings as grounds for disqualifying for their stages.  It's unlikely most of these pieces will find those stages, so my careerist concern is likely unnecessary:

from a section of a manuscript I will likely title Ossuary, which will probably be the title for the whole array:

Note--titles are missing

World, worldly obsession
Threatens
To turn my purls into a pearl
Handled scoop
With which you dish my cream.
It hurts badly and
I’m not allowed to scream
Or I am but
Not if my master’s
Me. Could this be?

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

So that there’s beauty
We must put her to bed.
Sleep sweetest dreams.
If you feel chains
Graze your ankles
Roll over.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;;

Let’s shake our asses
In the Jism Dooms Room;
The Room Dooms Jism;
Girl Juice
Gets you more 
Than can marry to merry.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I bleached my backdoor and common
Sense calls me an asshole.

Friday night
Cherry pie.

To stay safe
No cream
Pastor ain’t approved.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Brand the burn.

Hot sauce
For one.

Hottest box.

Pepper breath fogs
Windshield.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

All the trees
Are cinnamon.
Perhaps high seas
Are more of them swaying.

Currents carry meats
Killers mince.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Corn grows. Hormones
Escalate. There are too
Many of these babies.
There can never be
Too many babies.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

...These lovely ethical
Beliefs are imprisoning
Me, unable to see
The full turn of emotive degrees
I value. I am
Damnably stagnant. I need to
Uproot. If I stay
Here any longer
I’m liable
To lose all sight of sugars
All the while suckling NutraSweet.
