Alchemisland

Sawny bean adjacent

Diamonds like gleaming beans, sceptre with a jacinth

Killed more kids than the religion of Hannibal

Vice cameras coming in, I’m a famous cannibal

Infamous, my crimes give them a lot of ammo

I will not pass through a needle camel

But a man’s flesh has passed my lips

Married my enamel, joined me eternal

The man who is an animal unravelling

The man who is agoraphobic, untraveling

My tiresome travelogue describes my goings room to room, isteach sa teach

My quenched fires, my tramelled artistry, the trampled cell of my dwelling

My heart is an alchemical forge, Flammel’s spawn

Omens in everything I see, a bird leaving a tree as I speak, the sleek blades elysian

Sweetly melodying to my ears piercing shotcrack, siren song to a homegoer in a Homer poem

A snot green sea, a still-wet snotrag on a Martello tower’s highest deck, counting mounting debt

Black steed my soul thy bounty I thee mount unto death’s county, of measureless breadth

Round of a known stranger’s cheek peeking cheekily from Chinese tea leaves

Torn between depressive boredom and repressive feelings

They bare down on me these ceilings, I raise my arms and feet

Putting something between me and flattening, in hindsight my fattening

Follows a sacrificant pattern, making me a lamb, sacral blood to the font’s lip

The miserable queen and all her bastard kids slipped at the lip of the fort and fell

Fifty feet thrice, landing upon hard ice exploding with force like much meat and gelignite

I have no time for flatterers, I am man enough in my own fantasy and well believe it

Easily, the wellsprings of me spring deeply, Well Below the Valley chiefly

A place to store and obscure the origins of aborted babes, the dark forties

And so on today.
