Our words hushed within the requiem of dusk
Within sorrowful nights come wistful days
And o'er the saints and their haunting gaze
A shade, one more
A day foretold
My heart at peace, at tender brow
What's dark and bright
Comes day and night
The morning dew mellows
At the barron's implore.

Drowning anguish,
Black bleached seamstress,
In eyes share intimacy,
In life comes wonder,
An ire forelivid,
A tomorrow for two,
Stars wretched in darkness,
Breathing for the hand,
Of the dark ocean hue.

I dream to be Hannibal
But my neighbor Cannibal…
Hannibal might be A Failure
But he`d owned some Tense Tenure:
A Nightmare to Tough Roman,
Some shaking like A Woman…
I long to be Hannibal
But a good friend, Cannibal,
This trusting for Strange Riches;
His night visits to Witches?
But how would it taste: The flesh?
And - tell us - how would it sound,
When the teeth some flesh closed round?
Are virgin Cannibals still chaste:
I mean one that did flesh taste?
The stuff chewing into paste
Don`t they their chances waste?
Not soul alone they defile,
God, for them, opens Bad File…

then locked you in a rusty cage

Hannibal Lecter
remains for so many a most ghoulish specter
eat out at your peril
already he's asked you confirm you are sterile.

Greatest of military men, Carthage's son, bright and bold
Took the elephants of war over the Pyrenees frozen cold
And would delay the Gentile's time fulfilling when the race
Stood proud, under your command of the second Punic war
But then that Africanus, your student with love displaced
Entered North Africa, to plunder, to maim, and there to scar
Except you had relinquished pride for love of native land
To find your Waterloo at Judas unwaning hand in the sand
Tell me how you conquered Spain again, tell me how Iberia
Under Africa's constellation slipped from darkness and hysteria
Into confidence and light; Tell me about Bithynia's fast fleet
That routed the Pergamons, and revenged Antiochus plight
Look now how Alexander, Caesar, Napolean, before your feet
Lay their laurels, and in Tunisia old men eyes gleamed light
When your name is called, but where is your grave, great one?
How past all mighty empires in the dusk of the setting sun?
