Alchemisland

He was garbed black when it happened

Or was it white, or both in pinstripe pattern

He had a hat and a hatpin

Furs, boots with spurs in

Tall, drawn, pallid, thin

Memory fully intact

Never lacks recalling facts

Save that one instance

Changes come instant unbidden fast-rhythm

After sinning, face-ripping, chairarm-gripping terror

Majnun, I master them all and defile black nuns

Djinn help me from fiery dimensions, errors

Are in fact intended, meant to bring about something now that you mention it, sensitive

Don’t you sense it here it is, fall to knees before a pale king

Name your kids after him, deny him at your peril

Preparing casserole for your big day

Smash a jar of mayo over the windscreen of your alfa romeo

100 rounds I can go all day yo, saint of the tape, doperoping

Nose broken in the opening commotion

Soon I’ll fight for a better promotion

They better promote me, get me big as I know as I can be

Put them all in front of me, I know I can beat them

On the battlefield I meet them, plant my feet no equal

Dropped then up like the parachute was fucked, atop oak stuck

Vouchers for my drugs, vouching for my thugs

Crouching under slugs, couch got beddy bugs

Brannigan, Lugs not Zapp

Say that again, phasers unstun get zapped

Fed up of your cappin, report to the captain’s cabin for dressing down then stabbing

Flabbergasted at your lack of master, slap you redfaced you sneaky bastard

Beside the pool of sacred crocodiles in Sobek Nilegod’s temple

Reflecting on my lacking pride, my self denial, my selfset trial

I will triumph over Set by the image of the divine reptile

His hellrealm river sedge, reedbeds topped by redbeads at river’s edge

Where occulted Moses bawled, rocked by ripples thrown out by passing trawlers

Looking at a crocodile’s knowing eye, I knew that kinda smile

That kinda style, that kinda guile, that kinda guy a girl keep eye on

My brain from bad meat got a prion disease, my body an ion storm

New form when the moon reforms, I hear wolfmen morphing

Barking up a storm, men again come morning, baying reporting

Moon armoured in snow, marmoreal same one which Ovid saw

Which Aurelian enjoyed, from Australia to Arabia to the Isle of Jura.
