• Obsessive Anemology

  Always our nature compels us to contemplation of things corporeal Boreas and his cardinal questions, inciting movement  Dance the first religion, the swaying of trees under wind Wind the first and foremost mystery Comes from where, goes where, unseen but is Wind as wrath and as deliverance.

• Divine Dawn Vimy Ridge

  Marching with the rank and file Third trench Christmas, it’s all lasting a while. Curios whittled on frontlines and letters from home on a table in a pile Songs with similar airs performed in curious varied style Sitting on hard benches, itchy bunioned with asses piled Slapped knees and all at ease, dancing between the…

• Carry On Carrion

  Djinn face smoke above Palestine Pieces placed for final war, abounding votives Rimmon’s shrine Megiddo plainsong the shield sound Charcoal sigils smudged on air as guttering planes spiral down Drink-dry sword throats massing to either side Praying God will intercede, turning twofold tides Chicken bones strewn around the grave of humanity In the last days,…
