Thunderous drum beats
Roll around my cortex
As one wild foot
Thrusts forward
Into the unknown
While the other lingers
Longing to tread
In silent realms
Wilful urge prevails
I travel uncharted waters
For primeval instinct
Surges from stormy depths
And shant be undone
By messages in bottles
Oracles of a master crafts-god
Though celestial orbs
Sing through the shadows
I’m deafened by screaming Hitlers
And drum beat bullets
Incredulous acts from my own
Humanity
Flesh torn from limbs
Children slain
Cause my eyes to split
Light is veiled
As rage turns inward
Lips are sliced
Tossed to vultures
Eyes are cremated
Their ashes offered
Ears are closed
Sealed with pomegranates
And the search for
Aromatic forgetfulness
Continues….
