30.10.17




scotch tape/semblance of seemliness/
temperance and toil. Grin at grindstone/
gone in God’s graft.
Fore and After/hollow laughter.
Shatter simpering silent night.

Read the runes/it’s Romefall/
Baleful barbarians/at the gate/
Feast/till flame throws its own/
Leering shadow/in the sanctum.

Diagnosis-
WATERY BLOOD
FLACCID DECADENCE
FOREIGN GODS.
Sacrifice the city to save it
The card/is the wheel of fortuna/
First you’re up/
Then you’re down.

II.
Hooting gibbons/shoo away the sun/
The discursive & interminable sentence/
Falls/with the finality of the gavel/
Fate sealed. No repeal/
Subsumed/in sooty/silent night.

III.
Savage luxury/beasts in the palace/
Hooves ringing on the marble/
Clatter of cloven hooves/
Burlesquing the circuit/of the dance.

Perfume of goat & swine/
Music of the pigsty &
The drinking hall/
Crescendo of artless violence.
Diagnosis
THE UNMEDIATED ACT
RENEWS
CIVILIZATION
GONE TO SEED.
