a giant orange rolls over the horizon
propped up by the skeleton of a titan
dripping citrus flesh o'er the land

as it's adversary ascends the briny depths
a colossal sushi roll, avocado and yam tempura
the battle of the senses begins

the apocalypse never looked so delicious

stencil skin
perforated by thousands of honeycombs
stretched over a canvas of bones
a grey eye of the storm
inside solenoid ribs
electromagnetic apparatus

stained by organisms
without programming
ceaseless reproduction
asexual monolithic tyrant womb entity
gaping mouth
holocaust of birth

avatar of terror
antithesis of providence

incapacitated by some tempest flowing
this hurling of corpus christened
by chiseling the grooves out of the rock in the skull

the reading of an autobiographical eulogy
hammers all the finger-nails to the headboard

decapitating all extraneous heads
warning to all extracurricular heads
beware all ye extraordinary heads

a grand still-life choreographed exorcism

open mouth and out floods flock of butterflies
breast-pocket bursts and doves alight

strychnine catharsis

there is no sensation
like the removal of weight

with charon as thy chauffeur
subsume thyself in the guise of the left hand of god
complement part and parcel in opposite
trudge that weary path of darkness
scathe thyself
in the burning retribution of saint michaels sword

in the burning retribution of saint michaels sword
live for the pain that teaches what it means to be alive
do not obsess of love and purity
you alone hold the hand you are dealt
there is light and there is pain
there is terrible hunger
there is weight and there is unbearable weight
there are things we can not and do bear

live by the sword;  die at the wheel
