Carry On Carrion

Djinn face smoke above Palestine

Pieces placed for final war, abounding votives Rimmon’s shrine

Megiddo plainsong the shield sound

Charcoal sigils smudged on air as guttering planes spiral down

Drink-dry sword throats massing to either side

Praying God will intercede, turning twofold tides


Chicken bones strewn around the grave of humanity

In the last days, soaking up the last miracles

Nothing like a Lazarrus now but thought we saw a wine river, once

Runoff from some unrecorded pogrom


Begging Achilles to consider the prophecy

Red haired mummies, mounds pyramids and passage graves

Phonetic glyphs, anthropomorphic idols, rods to brand the backs of slaves

Djinngers fiery souled red ninjas, the vengeance of henges when axe strikes a hawthorne

The child awakening is not my child, night time take him in and left a malformed


The Somme will seem like nothing, a footnote for dim old folk

Generations will bleed, wheel and bent back shall be broke

Ten nights in the mirror seeing ghouls

Ten nights it is not my face self fool
