Months now since sex
Ourselves often vexed
Neglecting jealous Venus
What legs sheath stays between
Kept uncoupled mór capall destriers
Make them bold Marengos open air
As any who would repair what are termed tears
In reality’s fairness should prepare themselves for
Further awareness of a world distinctly uncaring.
Hera hunts lovers making gello ghosts, dead virgins who loathe the fertile
Never-spited Aphrodite diets delights, elides having uprighted on mortals
Single night’s pleasure peerless in salt-measured realm, making a hell
Everafter, leaving laughing raising unto pinpricked matte of night, shell
Of dome diamantine, where damascene sandals rest.
What are hidden dreams but fears of open failure
Cupid sent concupiscent dreams, concubines at Bathsheba
Waking pale, heaving
Unshaved, handback ironing chin static sound made
Ran glaive to it tight, pollarding, pruning glade
War, dead choking bays
Nameless nameless Homer’s blameless
Primed ear queer lissome voice insisting shamelessness, stern wisdom
Akin to rebarbative hissing
Barbiturate hymn liminal, barbarous from forms scabrous.
Skin leather scabbard, trapped inside white, red-crossed tabard
Far from Lollard, knowing tricks tongues lost since Babel floundered
For him alone, sotto voce, designed to mollify and constrain
He wondered, perhaps at her bidding, was he insane
Victim of himself, awaying further vain things kings and wings
Frightening world of feigned things, brain’s veins are with played
Suspicious of everything, save that which concurrent views conflate
Placated by sating heroin, stories of preferred heroisms
Anything which is us stirring, redolent cooled experience
Reconfirming old hatreds, such since ancient word first muttered.
Resplendent at breast yellow celandine splayed celebrating sullen queen
A Maedbh in fury, maven’s opposite
May queen who scolds her officers
Offers orifices to Gods amongst fluttering oriflammes, Crom-claimed hills
Mystery moon marmoreal carapace, marmaladestars locked constellation
Antient light’s drowned conflagration journeys distant to shine mayhem
Great Mayan veil, Inanna’s gates unscalable
Atop them Itzpapalotl makes eyrie, obsidian butterfly
Lepidoptera night adopted
Fox cunning night
Fox culling knife.
