Dominion I
the boulevard is desolate
as is the light that cracks bleeds
runs here there everywhere!
trash drafts like ghosts
in the flicker of dying neon
something races head long into oblivion
damnation at its heels
in death throws, broken, hanging
like the vagrant dead languish...
eons in ruined halls,
its shadows cover odd oblong onyx boxes...
Dominion...!
along desolations boulevards
(eyes watch)
a blast of white, crimson
rockets down the empty blacktops
running ages long its infernal engines
burning white-hot...
thump N hummmm!
DOMINION
lost buildings hang together
like the damned; silhouetted skeletal things!
in detonations aftermath!
a carriage lurches, coughs, wheezers
the ancient apparatus grinds to a halt
something Burns, sparks...
the death rattle of broken machinery...
the drifting of white smoke,
ghosts from the things heart.
in tombs hollow oblong boxes
sits darkly as silence is felt
waiting for the coming of None
Dominions...
a vehicle silhouetted against
the flowing street lights
of ice white lines
rockets down the empty blacktops
running in ages long
as infernal engines
hummmm!
Thrumm!
Burnnnnn!
DOMINION!
Smoldering, hollowed-out holocaustic
homes line the boulevards.
as falling bombs detonate in rain
images blur…
along desolations boulevards
DOMINION!
