Stefanie Bennett Holds Her Cain Renegade Neutrons During The Trepidation Lid Or Not

SEIZURE    


In my Mother’s House
A deceptive land,
An impulse
Waxes lyric...

While un-encumbered
The axe-head
And wood-block lie – seen
Only from
 The bi-fold window.

There, time steps through
The filaments’
Grasping squall, and
It’s found

How I am – now, twice
As able
As once
Was Cain.



THE TREPIDATION ACT   


Renegade neutrons
Fall apart
Laughing
On the front lawn, yet
You, with
Your cold
Aerial-of-souls’
Clip-board
Hand them
A clean
Bill
Of health. Seems

Strange how
A ‘for real’
Shooting star’s
Never around
When
You want one.



STEAM AND GOSPELS    


So much to answer for.
No-one to answer to.
Maybe add

An arthropod
With intent
And put a lid
On it.
