Fateless Rhymes of a Lugubrious Singsong Hysteric, is my beloved horror show book of poems. About reckonings with heaven, hell, madness, love, death and longing. As a mystification of understanding falling through waves of absolutes, as themselves shades of horror and beauty, and their revelation, usurpation, incumbents and their ulteriors.
Still working out the ending
Sly murky lures
crispy phallic fervors
asleep over hole
my caged raging soul —
the thunderbirds’ dead
its fire and dread
brandishing scars, my
miraculous cars.
That bled into the blight.
Framing a rainbow — killer bright.
Mourn the haul
its pining cross
freedoms incubus
and drunk albatross.
A stunning disruption
its sacred rent
hideous spartans
pink and bent.
Hooks for a boutefou
heavens tree wire.
Furtif and verjuice,
swivel in the tire.
Tethers feathers
to nethers
blunt fragile
and wry.
Hi ho hi ho —
the hunt and the lie.
