Urethane leaf
So pleased
to reveal
this radiant
disasterpiece
rent's still due
on leased leash
no pleas
if its wartime
or after-peace
ease you
into stone
seized sharp relief
soon thieved
to art galleries
at piece-meal
cost of ingredients
from ceased
liege’s arteries
graded against
the missionary
decree leaking
the glee of
"civilizing philanthropy"
