First There Was the Word

time placed beyond

	stairways star-wars

		galactic leverage
 
			Universe betrayed

stream of consciousness

	tipping an ice berg

		pick axe in hand

			frostbitten soul

whose kingdom came

	poker in the manger

		stark naked emperors

			food banks in loin cloths

hallowed be the halo

	candles burn dry twigs

		just a bloody night mare

			and no stallion in sight

stellar state of affairs

	spare one thought only

		wrapped in a comet

			bursting the bubble

circus clown’s sorrow

	safety net in tears

		droplets of madness

			cot death for the Lord
