cease of fortune

paramount concerns regard taxes evasion
concatenated creatures will soon be parted
a fool and lots of money watch each other
moribund fanatics with a world ending disappointment
could not be bothered to check the cash under
the mattress filled with peas: princess fables

myths turn to horrors when the luck runs out
authority regained against protagonists in pain
arguments silenced by a polar wind, garnished
with a soapy wash cloth to clean the unrepentant
tongue; fortitudes immortal quail at three o clock
when the time has come to give up 
the basket full of ghosts
