VeHiCLe: a consonant poem
Hiccup married Lullaby
honeymooned in Venice
where the couple
bicycled along the canals,
& made love by the light
of Venetian candles.
Vincent was tricked
into hell by Velocity,
a vicious strain of call girl
culled from a venereal hill clan.
Vincent picked a fight
with Hiccup, fell
into a cul-de-sac.
Lullaby cried for help,
Velocity clipped her
with a sickle, slicing a vein.
She closed her hurt
with chicle, beloved
by Hiccup, while Velocity,
so very fickle, left Vincent
to cool his heels and crawl
vanquished by love’s
sweet nickel.
