Comes in waves?
More like chariots.
Burning wall
perpendicular
to the arrow,
Achilles in the sand.
Dry dunes laughing,
waving sea oats like cowbells
amused by dragging.

About the Creator

Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing!
Intrusive rhyme bothers me, except as a weapon.
Intertextuality is my passion.
Formalist/ New Critical are my guiding theories.
My words are mine, not a robot’s.
