Drink The Sun

by dedpoet

Emptying memory: The sun does not block out The stars, The soul did not absorb them The water vanishes the fire, Petrified light, Executed dust of old flesh In a tomb of earthly thoughts; The Sol centrally corners the eye, Blinded by the word In a litany of days, Crushed hopes fall on nocturnal Flesh, Old as Cain and Abel As smooth as assassin pagans, Kissing the eclipses In a fit of rage on a wounded bird, Theatre of peoples In a cosmic garden Impaling moons And guillotining the planets, Eating fire on burning lips, A thirst for living water And a wisp of gentle air, A swarm of deities with Overgrown origins in a circus Of faithful, The sanctum was exploded With idealistic dogs licking Their own vomit, The amphitheater of man Stained with repetitive slow thoughts, Drunk with light Hidden in shadows.
