Future Suits

1. Going out tonight?

unwelcome stiffness in the seams
tuxedo reserve balls or dances
so far no show
creases glow with that never worn look
seems a shame to etch stretch marks
in such fine cloth cut precise
brocade clipped promise or denial
broken hearts or dancing shoes

2. Survival suit

manikin models moleskin and moss
butterflies and bugs beetle with loose weave
torture or safety self-composting
stroil and necrophage luminese fragile fantastical
fox fire and flash into undergrowth
bloody gashe body fed screams at midnight
spider wild capture and forfeit
frozen dew drops debauch

3. Rainbow wear

lapels of light prism capture
sun brighter billion candles
moths flutter hurricanes over Canada
fan forest flames and moorland smoulder ahead
tarmac footprints behind, blackest shadow
swallow remember-songs, burp regret
threads oblate and night-wise wink
leaving an ordinary nude
