your cataclysms & catechisms
rebound from obliques
creep around the crypts
of martyrdom
as age seeps
into the pores of herstory
you watch valentino
pilot the vessel to anchorage
on the deck moments before
the fetid stench
of the blueberg
arrives at its destination
no one cries nor wails
in the silence of depravity
or under the lash
of the barbarian hordes
innocence is mutilated
around a flaming cross
watching bigotry flirt tempestuously
with fascism
the axis of impartiality
tilts in your favour once more
as garbo spits in the face
of farcical royalty
on a boulevard of decayed dreams
behind drawn shades
lying amongst glittering opiates
lays the naked queen
tarnished & jaded
in the travelling show
you swallow snakes & swords
nurturing the infidels
the man with forked tongue
rides the chariot across the plain
laughing gaily
as he slaughters tapestry
& on the spectacular night
you triumph again reborn
a star set in lava
as pompeii rains supreme
