Poetry from Vernon Frazer

Panning Out



the ontological panacea

galloping airbrakes their launching

moles against angry vibrations



     inveighs awful reverb to

     orange scrape dentures

     and beefburger eyeballs



 the reveries of memoriam putting

 darkening the screwdriver period



                     harkening sonic calcification



         negative zoom: sternum 

         curls tight in tumid sector breath



the cornered moonbeam’s communique



                     latent in seawater

                     softened the homecoming eardrum



          while

                   victors 

                               bubbled



                         driveway claimants



                  stepped where clichéd glitter

                  stoked thoughtful commotion

                  drenched by deuce dropping



     narrowed diaper compartment fairgrounds





Day Turning Dark for the Night


daylight drifting

intones the scented patois

its daydream stolen



     the mixture

     a bartered abandon 



         disposed the grim fret

         holiday eponym aggression



               the firestorm boiled 

               at empty eyebrows



 to rapture in firecracker roadhouses 





                     (     )





a subterranean temptation

glinting retorts umder caliper vessels



      nominal venom prefixes

      nuance eyebrow tactics



repentance blueprint blown last

off the walks, a despair tankard

covered in a thermostat virginal



           cowered before posse moonlight





                (     )





numbered breakthroughs 

catapult the thought, not the few

     the insight rushing



          sycophantic mezzanine colors



                   docket tension

                   wayside caring



the chance phonemes neon remedial leave





The Loyal Backing Away


spectral allegiance

sampling

               the legendary obscure



     a rugby phantom

     gone missing in the rain



              a dalliance 

              dripping slippery breath

              over wet tentacles



periphery bursting a drunken glow



    no motto left

    to have or habitate

                       over

                              each



nomenclature cufflink suicide undecided



          beyond the reach

          of any tonic’s clef





                   (     )





at root

a sonic declamation

amply 

         scuttled



the celebrity rumor gloss thickened 



          its equivocal moss 

          festering essential time legions





              where lingering denotes

              chronic enervation in keeping



                             up with



                                         a rumored sample

                                         under a hiding sun 



                                                   a traitor shadowed




Under the Weathered



the rain needs certificates 

abducting a marginal soufflé

process merchants acquired 

a projective conditioner view

that shuttered trough tests

to pace their slow sharking

over clustered frustration 

their regions remembered

decorations bare for the rite

fossil taxes renewed raking

over the scrotal oration cloud 

a weary gabble once it left

phylum rafters a cartilage city

warring below sweatshirt fringe

benefactors plaster the known 

parameters vomit members

shopping becomes undone

for the wetter energy barking

commotion to terminal daylight

a tractor-lined euphoria danger 

factored when foundations air

footed barbarity notwithstanding

clamor swim coincidence taunts

lunging turned danger a force 

as voltage pits looted their colors

from omelets deleted as savage

the wary pain of practical turmeric

their savage daylight left unfilled

a mudslide flavored the movie
