Lions in Daniel’s Den

Out from hiding

No more entertaining as yet untamed lions

For brittle cages are easily escaped

Embracing faith, of a kind

Enlightening lines from the Bible’s Book of Jeremiah replace my ire

With quiet, of a kind, so expensively acquired.

All happening as prophesied

The weak-willed cap doffing to the Lightningborn, a grim sire

Lord of all fires, Storm Squire, his malformed host perform gory rites

Writ misappropriated to suit wiles.

Burnt toast black, nice suit black, frostbite homeless toe black:

Unborns becoming smoke.

Most hopeless midnight since the Big Bang

Big opener, hopeless bag opener

Streplike smoke throat bang is cough provoking, but hold it to look manly

Aids my composition greatly but also makes me remote, vacant.
