Cold Cost

Blast while it lasted
Thanks for the memorabilia, long lashes and mascara
Gassed now for lack of memoranda
Slack foresight and randy
Gagged reflexes, swallowing it whole, scary
Damn
Rock of adaptive survivability, spit or swallow

Stoke the atmospheric heat, alluring mauve eye shadow and mayhem
Patrol vice evolution
Frankincense to methane
Frankenstein’s bride incensed by her own insecure birthright
Stacks of tree-felled scientific papers
Global evidence, fell
Imposture

Lit to the back of the minded
Blacking of thigh-high boots and old stoves
Mess with the best lasciviously, overview mass extinctions
Foolish and lush
Smoked out the luscious
Backing the wrong guise, red “wet look” lipstick and nail polish
Charge past the fattest
Important and fittest, smartest, sexiest
Spent

Off another upwelling
Petrol belching
Suck hard and form a seal, stretched thin, those lips
Trust throat’s depth
Blame reflux if need be, and mankind
Clime and chemocline
Climb towards destruction
Wish otherwise and still, those eyes
Miss

Columnar increases of exhaust outputs, the shaft, the shafted
Charged farther and extended, overextended
Sheetrock revelations, sulfurous eruptions
Life
Left to

News, makeup and facials
Few
Going on

No—why?

Know why.
