• Indecisive Patriarchs (Yesah Noah)

  Standing at the gates, a Lamassu Second rate your llama zoo Te llamo who? The ark the ark upon the waves, below the graveless dead unsaved and unsavoury Doubt is a slavery, that God didn’t make me, doubt daily rapes me The voice guiding this vessel perilous, this violent earth; the sons of Pelias Dripping,…

• Riot

  A stabbed child leaks excuses Inside them resides the urge, hidden like a demiurge Dublin City like the Purge: it burns it burns it burns Thick necked Gards in riot gear cordoning off O’Connell Street Pallid ghouls selling gear, Bordening off lifespans at O’Connell’s feet Where dark delights meet plain daylights and the junk-blue vein…

• Arthur

  Heads on sticks fester, house of Crimson Witch She bids the Styx flows faster, her mushroom cap is pitch For Cerberus, three collars new like fledging priests Snow on Mount Erebus three colours blue like old heat Trees coloured blue for an amethyst eye Amorous tryst deny eye to eye, barefaced a knightly lie To…
