Conquered
Smoldering charred stake
Stinking thick running fire-tar
Boiling destroying bubbling skin
Melting seeping waxed dust bones
Screeching mother weeping water
Crying sister sizzling cooked humans
Hot atomic sun
Miscellaneous dirt winged earth
Scratching dry sight killing tears
Waves attacking white tender flesh
Ultraviolet death armies
Blood rock clotted toes and heals
Long tracks of my flowing life
Crosses soldiers’ crucifix
Along the road to Rome
Fear’s consequence dying submission
Rage rejuvenating stumbling effort
Weakness is meek relenting eyes
Cold shivering opium dreaming
Cream-colored mold man lying
In line metal chain god
Unifying binding slave’s master’s will
Ending columns devious spaces
Empty lacking nails or straining muscles
Clear heaven not billow black smog
Praying Christ’s affection mercy
Angel melody nothing choking creeping
Devil serpents handling lifting
Pouring lighting leaving repeating
Refrain
