                              The Grim Intensity of Mars

Tonight the grim intensity of Mars
Along the horizon is the war god’s warning
A pagan prophecy of blood among the stars
A judgement upon this planet of ghosts

Tonight the withering scorn of Jupiter
Withdrawing his light is a repudiation
Of Earth’s cultures of disassociation and death
Of powdered skulls for smoothing a footer pitch

While corpses influence corpses through blank blue screens
The last man dies with Karamazov in his hands
