Midnight sunrise

At what time my sun arrives midnight

Hands by my side, fists clenched

A ghostly father screaming vengeance

Meeting’s consequences ‘comes my engine

Dredge the lake, send down the divers

Corpse Irish green, irises eaten neat, insect’s dream

Islands in the stream until my solar flare sets it buffering

I crash land the biplane on Grafton Street, ask a passer is this 1863

Black sun like a frozen eclipse, black lips a succubus’ kiss

Script, quill dip then hit print, thesis nailed in protest 99

Theseus’ sails all black on the way back, Minotaur whacked, father’s eye

Descrying despairs, tries flying, dies because he cannot glide

Father I beg forgiveness

Further I, murder witness

Your back a bricked up hidden passage Wolfenstein Castle

My words the Belmont whip, the lash that ravages savagely

Your cabbage is average, spliff packed to max barely whacked

Barely waxed my own face staring back, jagged and handsome

Pity a single glance of this eye magnet turns a man to granite

My gaff is full of statues, granted, standard

Leaving milk for the Gentry now I’m landed
