Lately Nights

Lying naked feel skin crawling with aphids

Exhale it’s just the drugs

Nailred wrist to scrape the bugs

Thin as spread pat, stretched skin hints innards, wet bedspread spread out half off

The bed in shadow the approaching danger 

Standing pat with potless pisses to wager

Eyes rubbed until soliate discs burn, the blind man’s sun

The blind man’s son is a man too young

Dawn cracks against a sharp hillpoint

Like an egg against a pan rim

Pan’s startling hymn bids larks skyward like jazz-signature rockets

Broken dawn the broken down trodden over and under hill

False names at Bree, lockless keys

Dawn breaks to empty seats

Drawn Blakes going cheap, no audience for angels

No flowers for eternity, no followers for rightful chief

You know that way, y’know what I mean bud

So much bud I down thud no seed breaches mud

Hell or bong hit, staring overlong into the dancing fire

Last one for a while, he self lies, his green-tied smiles

Akin to illusion, what hides in the eye of the eyes

Deathless worm beneath quenchless fire, sighs and sobs choiring

Hooded ones ring the fire, the fire at chanted prompt hiring

Antlered the Shrouded Lord takes his broodmare, heirs siring

70 years deep Hell’s soundings, heptide wide Iblis’ pride.
