Walking Home

All hate and love is longing for the other

Fresh corpses thronging ponging ovens

Handled gloveless the loveless carapaces

Stoven skull corpses

Dragged at dull dawn from rancid chambers, emaciated and uncandled

Put through fatal paces, beyond any man’s handling

Breathless with excitation, the Ravager in odd leathers is led away

His dismal chamber well away from civilisation’s neat conveyance

Down to a lower manifestation of Hades,

That elevation and layer equated with the road not taken.
