Back Issues

#1
Impetuous, arriving late
for Nunchaka Tutorial,
bescowled, poking
a leafy tongue
at the scarfed, shaded winker
draped on the back corner chair.

#23
Killed off, saving
an ex-lover
from a walking switchblade.
Blood dripping daintily
from a defiant backspike.

#59
Leaping
over giant cogs,
hamster-galloping, rocketing
needlepoint bone javelins
at a foe.
Very much alive.

#62
A hand to drag him
up over an outcrop
of fast-fragmenting ice,
suspended over acid.
A touch
that lingers, long
after the sulphuric's been
drained away.

#102
Skills frozen. Chained
to the wall. Magic
or some psycho's invention.
S swings in on a grappling hook
bent into shape in a fit
of rage, crooks me
and away! through the roof.

#122
Try a little
acupuncture
on the latexed virago
probing my boy
for info.

#150
Killed off again.
Curare-fanged
spiders.

#151
Or maybe not.
