verboten crevasse (2017)

Her heart-mountain crevasse fern hidden

His unassailable sail, mast and midden

                 taut distance all measure,

          stole time's noisy treasure


his hart earth-plates slid, quaking earth restless;

his wolves moon sheltered, puzzled peaceless;

        tales entwined the sun winnowed down

      to mineral veins sorrow-drowned


evolving loveevol, leveling fast escape

the troll eve eloped, clad in red tape

   their apple still hissing in cinnamon blister

   their stingray corvette calls every cop mister


all thread long unraveled, the story forgotten

our menu a planet, nothing verbotten
