The sun rising as it has not in some time

Sunrise glorious, more than recent times

Sunrise’s old but recently seen beauty, tenfold

Even a day’s break steals all gold’s glimmering

Fools old and young ascribing to arts limn you

As Apollo limb you that you might walk far afield

C thy coastal passage sprouting thyrsus awield

Vaster than recalled

Tutelary star.


Sunrise as has not in an age

Starlight illumes span of rage

Every trifle I erupted over, every unnecessary chiding, each manipulation rouged as confiding

Plain before me. What can I be but be for me, the selfish say, fight my corner none other will

Life’s a pill to punctuate sleeping, we get bored dreaming and like water steaming the soul from the mass tears screaming

Sealing deals with slight cursive, the discursive wording of the contract warning to the wary

The rainmaker’s umbra terribilis showers them like raping Zeus come as wanton rain, the gold cage he enters as fluid lurid the Lemnian women are whores for a goddess, and Ovid’s fore adorned Zeus with such glory everlasting that he is painted on the Cistine roof.


Light-dragged darklings agonise for prosody

Proffered for perusal my disinterred

At the stained pith helmet the prospective buyer’s arching brow interest inferred

Prosperpina marina tsarina catalina 

Ages now since I saw the sun, half past one feeling smoked out and cough-racked

Directionless pedalling metal wheels beneath me I’m a wind-whacked car roof rack.


Go down with this ship, any ship 

Whoever’ll pay, my loose lips like dripping taps watergiver, at sea serving

Stella Maris, her lores and odd lights, bells of bronze lightning riding the waves which a net ignores

Dawn to the deserving, larks with paintbrush tails first of morning, favourite of azure Mary mother of raw-flanked Nazarene, gold and glory and 

Gallimaufrying blank page with what seems at surface the odd ramblings of a rhythmless

Laden with fact the stinging signal like a Christian Brother beats it into you regardless of inclination

Whether lacking ambition you are confined to lower station, or seeking not salvation but earthly elation, this lore will learn you

My charge house oerlooks a charnel house for those truant or recalcitrant

Take aim at you, arrow imminent surges with excitement, sanguine alimentary; loose it

Lucitania like an astral traveller plunges purer darkness in search of sinking sistership

Hands that built the great Titanic can make or throw a pipe bomb too.


Hardliner a Roman bishop sent over to bring us into line

A long time coming, even the Roman haircut denied in ancient time

Priest-ridden became, ten priests to every lay person, clergy for every saint

Every holy day honoured by peasants with no coffers, coppers plonking into the box like robot orgasm

The back chute stuffed

With dead babies

Disrepute stymied

Distance between disrupted parish, priest and Pope

Holy Cee risingtide sea of seditious thought, toppling not seen since Babel

Titanomachy

Sure as skyshot arrows return to earth bloodied, end of all things will be salt

Salitter shed at death sinks in soil the divine ambrosia alive despite the roiling surface at war with itself

Rising the new Adam atramentous skies herald his arrival, stars glint like gifts from elves

Gifts at Eld glorying God much pleasing him, but the world oer sinful the punishment due.


Bricks bitumen sealed to stop brine at endtimes, bisons and bactrian camels haul brick carts up spiral staircases

Plain of Shinar

She narrowly loves me, it walks a knife edge

Nimrod restores fire worship, strides the pyre’s edge in hunted furs massed and rank

Malodorous his hunting lodge, skinned things and boiling jaws, maledictions his vile twilight orisons

Two angels under a hill, so gloried and equal ignobled, teachers of still-living sorcery

Even angels fail a moral test; still can fail the grade obsessed, Ipsissimus 

Bound leviathan chud for elect come Doomsday, leashed by angels until vials pouring 

Announce long wrath.
