Flowing matter-of-facts

Authorised Emptiness
only to force false dawns on
falling forlorn boiled carcuss minds
for why & how to blind panic
thrown in cat calls
lies, long & lithe
sighing dead air upon a time
when martyrs fell with will
into their foreign selves
testing to the skies HA!
for fast-fetched fancies fostered in flames!


Rye, belying knights
& soiled fight
why & where & wars
bought from failed decrees
blighting broken lyre strings
followers flung on ripe-red clients
scattered, injured, foul & bastardised
in twilight cowards
dead as diamond skies
crush the fizzing reservoir weight
& caught in winds
deprived of direction
fired into cold, forgotten flames
famished in the wound, dumb after life
devoid of sinly coils but caught
costed in its pierced embroil
fostered inside instead of lying
pale-faced to the owl eyes
that stab at melody with crystal gaze
locked in phases that daren't entangle
drawn in sand dunes their children built
in yards of rotten gold
spilt on decades of indifference
knowing truth but trusting only traitors
bearing spoilt souls
