tepid

Your style tepid, crude, unfit for the throne

My style rude lines writ upon a bone

God’s name sounds like a gurgled groan

My fortune teller a blind crone

Two hundred years living alone

Ask her to tell me where I’m going

She reads my palm, turns pale as foam

Sends me away, won’t take pay

Burnt hash sticky royally

Smoke is black, coiling

Wipe that off with a damp doily

Oily as the black stone

Diamonds in the soil

Men dying with toil.
