Bogged

My life a mountain, it’s Greek climes

An island of poet kings old rhymes

Days of the dog, a corpse consigned to the bog 

Rises up coated in peat slime

His veins are empty

His pains which in his life drove him insane 

Gone spun away like wind vanes 

He will kill plenty, fold twenty

His gaze still insane he trains

Sights on them who drank his blood like wine.

Longseated spine cracks as he sits up the ravine

A layer of dirt very fine

Tattoos him brown and looks down at ruined raiment, yet refined.

Revenge like steed rides his mind

Bloodfeed death of dismal kind 

Which none divined else elsewhere they should resign to, and not be here dead in lean-to 

Fully cleaved through and a wolf doing as a wolf do.

On stove simmers stew that will not be served.

He roves, terse terrains, the many whom death deserve he will not desert

Crossing red earth and earth cursed, his purse fit to burst like the loot chests of Ur
