Dost thou not know me, Osiris?

Scant relief

Burning through weed and weedy Sin Eaters

Who enter eager but depart defeated misdemeanour-beleaguered,

Having trekked the requisite leagues to my evil peak,

Where voice stealing winds dream of flutes

And the many uses to which they should turn tools

Such as the hands gifted to, grafted onto, human fools.

Liver bin fit with gin and vin abuse

About my heart, a giant-carved escutcheon introduces nuisances

To the marble hardness of my chainmail affections;

My plated pate painted by the sun’s saint-highlighting abundances.
