• Great war it was

  When order flies and chaos thrives When skydown bombs cause men to dive In sucking mires, where men and horses die I employ a wild strategy to help me survive; As soon as I hear rattling guns, I salute immediately If anyone tries to shoot me, I’ll die with my boots Scopes will train on…

• Dealer is a djinn

  I’m outside Jeddah smoking dunglike hashish, life’s kadesh But I’ll clip a man and kill for cash, mercenary mode on your ass Like Resident Evil 3 nemesis, smoking evil kief from chief’s peace pipe Orgying with Caligula at Nemi, mirror of Diana huntress ripe Pants got a racing stripe, blazing light in vanilla night Desert’s…

• Dark woods, Dante vanquished

  Last night having supped With a modest cup proposed to compose My plans were soon scuppered by an interloper’s arrival Wind which kind ructions Blusterful cheeks bearded Boreas all mustered A casement closed at the latch explodes open Fumbling ecstasy, mumbling vexation chasing pages across the room Pages full of heretofore unseen quotations Solicitations to…

• Siegecraft

  All winds change, even Emperors can be caged Rage unchanged since ancient today, still ranging At being’s heart, man cart of sacred parts ill custodian Oils stowed for such events I toss from ramparts Around me buildings exploding, showering hot debris below Amidst smoke, standing with tattered cloak My name by hammerous Gods spoken, known…

• Wounded at the healing fountain

  In flawless forest scrying yon gushing torrent, youth’s fountain Which can reduce my abhorrent wounds to scrapes Borrowing health from tomorrow, implanting into today I know not the ways and hidden sympathies But I have overpaid in blood given and taken I crawl to the marble lip, fingerpainting the sill with myself I recline on…
