Silver flask full of
alchemist’s liquor
in a denim coat pocket,
oil stained and torn.
A fantasy come true,
ever-lasting life for
hog rider, once
an alchemist
in days of yore.
Thank you for reading!

She claws her way out
of hell, Cerberus howling
breeze warms frigid air
Young buds stretch for blossoming
birds fluttering in the trees
