Tantalus


Perhaps now I should sleep. For I am so very, very tired
There is a chance, indeed, that I should let go.
Daylight no longer holds the essence
Of chest beating excitement and dilated eyes
That has been delegated to run rampant
In the certainty of my own solitude

My strive for candour deflates my twitching ego
To drag itself along the pavement at dawn
Leaking orgone fluid in university vestibules
And shits synapse of self-deprecation.

The closed bracket is reflected, left open
A temporary city stalks my monolithic gaze
The fear in my blood flees for my gullet
And comes finally to rest like buckshot in my gut
Ruptured for a lack of organisation and apology

Wolves in

Sheep's clothing
Sheep in wolve's clothing
Stalking stock and silken ties
The populace flock
Enclosed in council pens

The cloth eared shepherd
Cowers in a corner
Beaten by propaganda pamphlet
As the wolves tighten their leash
He weeps on the winning ballot

All smiles on canine muzzles
Carnivores got the teeth for it
"Take my paw sheep, we got the world to give"
It might not be yours
But it's something.

Your Wife, the Wolf

Ivory teeth and cast iron claws
Her beauty reeks of want for you
A stagnant breath of life she draws
You are nature's lonely fool

Romantic eyes show intent defined
As she stalks your final stand
Cold moon and bitter wind align
Your life on wrong's right hand

Both clean and swift her bound rings true
And breaks a brittle form
This death it reeks of want for you
A perfect end is born
