Marlon Brando's Eyes

Names are written on the walls of my eyes:

		Terrible thoughts of itching fire!

		
	The wall opens to the chambers 
	to the bones of forgotten family
	Savages, what they did to you;
	Never to haunt them as it does me!

	Their smiles and laughs, written on the walls of my eyes…
	Their blood shall make for the finest cup of merlot
		These savages, upon my mount.
		I pray for prey; to rack them up like the horns of a bull.

			Savage, am I? Or am I not?
			Justice calls from the depths of my bloodline
			From the names written on the walls of my eyes;

	They say “Liberate our fury with the hand 
	that robs them of God’s mercy!”
