‘OT TODAY INNIT

Heat such that skin blisters 

Erupts in fishgullet fissures 

Images, fragments 

Visions of vicious whips 

Viscous blood drips 

Flesh wetpaper rips

Like wallpaper upon a steady drip

Stay a while and listen 

Tortured screams, posts for whipping 

Cursed gold in chests redly glistens

Talk of selling souls

Someone readily listens

Red-skinned apporting in my kitchen 

Unwanted, aborting away the issue

Rum and sporting chap, offers a tissue 

Like I’m due to say atishoo 

Due to hear bless you soon

There, there; sooth thy wounds 

His soot intention darks the room 

Overhead, a sparklike moon looming 

Like a numinous jewel looking down 

Resting on a bust-swollen gown

His voice a harp, cherub rung 

Then a panging pard’s growl

Cruelty’s first and foremost sire 

About whom dire songs are sung 

Notions to which innocents have clung

The fiend exists now, save the dumb 

And the lost who good sense have flung

Projecting only what they have done

Devil deals to stop me dying

Jack Parsons, triangles with eyes inside

Burroughs trying and failing to join OSI 

Mass surveillance, never TMI 

Tea at mine, scant portions 

Diet to lower your BMI 

A card for Valentine’s

Won’t you bee mine?
