"In time the comet passed to other heavens, fading slowly; and the black terror it had wrought became a varying legend, even as all other bygone things." --@KlarkashT

The Women of Weird Tales.

1.
about the dark times
we were so eloquent
to bestow on those hearers

who knew already

2.
paintings that escaped the walls
zone improvement plan
slow sunrise of Dhrawn

sev'ral badly folded towels

3.
remembering normalcy
the man in the glass castle
finds fault with quartz
& dreams of far Carcosa:
this azalea
grows from the ultimate cairn

4.
precarity
rattles my chain

huge gastropod
send mere prayers to

precarity
rattles my chain

5.
the unfolding debacle
in some infirm alembic
frivolous fate
hedges with spikes this hogan
& gape Moloch

this soft intricate cipher
ends up blaming Abraxas
by a wolf moon
i gather bread crumbs & dread

the unfolding debacle

6.
the wrist once
misstepped
in winding

cord gave permanent kink

a blunder
out of memory

this time, O
this time

7.
murder garnets
invasive species
to tie behind my head
salt for the hyper-whelk

another morning
that is not my last

wet leaves of grass cling to my fingers

8.
dove or ice box?--same
poignant, insistent pulse

in the terse, untenable light
salt for the hyper-whelk

bounty on anthropoid apes

9.
churning furiously in
a space in which nothing happens
& yet so much finds an end

across the concrete a pillbug
goes down & up to climb the space
from deed to karma

10.
where there were vistas
he saw microns
trudge Polaris
tongueless Eisteddfod

hygiene theater
not enough runes
not enough darkness

11.
coin shortage
riddling carol
the night breaks
sluggish bruise-fest
squeamish trudge

focus close
some fierce detail
coin shortage
on cark's Styxbank
uffish traipse

i think far
to when fever
adjourns game
jouks coin shortage
bearish churn

we'll walk sharp
as sick ones should
subfusc dawn
in thick desert
finish tale

"They support a likely warming range of between 2.6°C and 3.9°C..."

"my hedgehog
watching birds
onto the highway
unhinged"
