Dampened Canary-
cloth hanging in the unforgiving
heat

A fateful transaction is upon the balancing wheel
of a godhead-wheelbarrow
(called forth from an unknown plain)

Here comes the chosen Sufferer,
who endures,
endures the cruel calming
of the desert
as if himself archetypal/
The Lonesome Cowboy
(Poésie)

Plotted on a humble Hillside,
where nobody has walked since
the first Red Riser fell honorably
(& honorably still)

The Martyr savors
the last of his strawberries before Tragedy (Muerte)
drinking water from a stranger's flask

removing pinpricks
individually, little droplets of
blood are sacrificed to quench
the
Arid Empress

(Eruption/magnesium iris/Harper's Ferry 1805
perched toward the Consummation Twilight/Alexandria playfully
inspects his remains/judges past-lives/submitting to Lastly/DOWN/fertilizing the soil, creating,
smoking smiles/smoking kills/his skeleton braces for
savagery & foul gale)

! Maroon-like
lamplight daybreak
(Leviathan)

Sacred-Serpent at their typewriter again, concluding/procuring
iron baskets-

-of bread and wine
to
celebrate the success in preserving
an irrevocable Cycle

...Another gentle youth invokes
the strange Temperament of Lilacs
& Chaotic Seraphim
