At Trickling's End


As winter brings shortened light,
as famine delivers harvest blight
So does violence yield premature burial gain,
scarlet tears of Noah’s premonition rain
Crimson tidal force,
deluge of cursed, wolf bane rage
Crescent moon dreadfully presage
a permanent lunar retrograde

On the dark side of the bosom, 
sunspot thoughts flow terminally so, err bottomless
Feral feelings blindly comes from
malevolent eruptions,
igneous fears reflect opaque tears of hardened glass

Eclipse hearts 
cast an angry downpour — 
What does the ill-temper tempest send?
Underbelly hourglass
receives not 
another vex overturn at trickling’s end

Rejoice, rejoice
ye peaceful pilgrims 
of quantum hope certainty
The celestial sands of tranquility
will soon pour infinitely

As the last Revolution spins 
identical change,
the mammon thirst for power 
remains the same
Punctuated by perforated voices,
whose hateful noise
stains the grain
