“Boy”
By Peter D. Oliver
i watch this boy topple from atop his bike
he enjoys this calamity
and others of it’s like

and laughs aloud with wayward glee

” my […]

“Belial Dreamed”
By Peter D. Oliver
and in our faces evident the signs
of foul concupiscence
all of Heavens grace is laid waste.
for she and me are soppy fools
in love with skin and orifices
not soul and serenity and obedience.
for i am to cut her throat
the one who tempts me
i am to cut my own
the one who compels me.
solid goods […]
