The muse
looks
written hard
and put away
wet
as
she
meanders
through the eleventh hour
desert
in search
of a last word
to quench her
tantalus
thirst
and finds it
at the bottom
of a bottle of bathtub gin
the last fucking word
in the last fucking place on earth

Zyzzyva, a genus of South African weevils found on or near palm trees, is the newest last word you'll find in the Oxford English Dictionary.
ZZYZX The last place on Earth. It was originally founded by a crazy old man who named it ZZYZX since it would be the last word in the dictionary and hence "the last place on Earth". Currently it's an abandoned town somewhere Between Las Vegas and LA

Ease in
slowly
to the liquid
embrace
acceptance
flows
freely
all around you
when you let your garb down

Dear Bleep,
I hope you are well and enjoying all the wonderful holiday gifts that mother gave you. I am sure that the fur coat is keeping you warm this winter. You were always her favorite.
This pastel plastic pen she gave me is working out rather well to write a postcard. But truly, the Western Union wire was far more useful. So I as I scribble this note to you under the shadow of Big Ben I simply must ask -
How do you like your watch?
Love Always,
Iffy

Startled awake
by
shattering glass
and big ben alarm clocks
getting my bearings
in the snapchat
bedroom
my feet
bare
and
cracked
land
on a cold dusty floor
littered
with
instagram filters
and
gimcrack beliefs
Was
I was sleeping
through
life
?
This corpulent duffle
of daydream
drags
me
down
deep
Alkmaar
grooved
on
my shoulders
I long
like
Atlas
to shrug
it
off
I slide the straps back
and let it fall
to yesterday's
floor
Freed from that peaty wasteland
I
find
my
path
