Bastards and prodigies
invested in systematically
staunching the ebb
of energy that bleeds when it flows from pleas.

Islands -
adrift,
at war -
in chorus sing for prophets old and young.

But I’m before the Lord
with nothing on my tongue.

Pray (precor).
Pray I don’t enter (souls upon the grave).

Pay (pendo).
Pay for surrender (the pound of flesh I gave).

Suit ties and signatures,
like wax seals and indulgences,
useless save for myths
they twist
like nooses we resist.

Debonaire;
a fucking coward with the
blank eyed stare

who I abnegate,
and perforate,
To claim what’s mine and clear the slate.

Pray (precor).
Pray I don’t enter (souls upon the grave).

Pay (pendo).
Pay for surrender (the pound of flesh I gave).

Forthright obscene civility.
Maintain machines that enforce humility.

Legacies are made by artists paid to please.
Histories reinforce dependency.

Hard to blame,
hard to force a mandate made of flames.
Hard to hang yourself with bootstraps made of shame.

The only reason to mine lead
is to send a bullet through your head, cunt.
Smug smiles that typify the type
that we need purged with more than light
and sound.
Sound and rage.
Your impotence is apocalypse.
Turning backwards, congratulations.
Never question
who I am.
