smooth ruffled feathers
in the form of a villanelle
still not enough to disclose despite
drowning in the black perfectness conquest
going ‘round rounded face and table trite
*
repeatedly showing a sly smile out of spite
the same contradictory words in one sentence egest
still not enough to disclose despite
*
supported by all this modern technology, a wounded wight
her mind lost in vain bequest
going ‘round rounded face and table trite
*
sat around, talked about, no delight
colloquialisms that obfuscate the professed
still not enough to disclose despite
*
then this man came, low-down, his eyes full of blight
pull out all the carefully laid out threads, what a jest
going ‘round rounded face and table trite
*
they both danced in the same team at the campsite
throwing an alien egg out of the nest
still not enough to disclose despite
going ‘round rounded face and table trite

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
