Dumb blood of the stubborn temple
fractious tremble, wrong,
just as (always) religion -
botched nascence,
haggard glum clutch
of butchered dream, right bird
wending wrong wing.
Hunch of housework
forced supplication,
first frail trill of Spring
torment to the malcontent,
agog but grimly knowing:
sound sans sight, brunt
of breeze on skin, sweetslayingscent –
stuck in glum clench,
wrench of waking,
skank of unsomnolence,
mum drung of venal black brain,
clinch of midnight's droobing dung,
beauty taboo ballet
Unsang-froid flophouse of flesh
lust to mesh in loveliness --
furious saints within - rage --
silent saboteurs, singed already
birth bloody zzz's
to zygote page.
If you could mend the fuckhouse of flesh with the stubborn temple/ religion, you would have Saturnalia, or some wild Pagan romp that even I might be interested in attending!
