Runaway
Stop!
Oh weeping heart!
Shed no tears for him,
Deserter of love,
Run-away fool...
You deserved better!
Shush now!
There will be another sunrise!

Julian the Emperor and Deserter
Archon of the west, whose spouse was the worldly Sophia
Who blindly abandoned his childhood lamb, to search for unseen light
Though the lamb could have showed him the pure gnosis he craved for

Premium Member Death To Death
. . . I stoned the lord of death to death
     we lye, now, side by side

as

effigies of who we tried to be
among countless 
revolutions
among countless 
massacres

evaporating into mixtures
of all who passed 
that day, united

beyond soils of new shoots
I, a deserter
I, a warrior 
I, a beggar
I, a zealot

with the lamb
gathering stones . . .

Anti-howling receives the 
deserter. There was a mass
breast-beating without
any noise.

The pugnacious jaw 
drops. Shows  a frail
sensitivity to tormented
values –

of invisible mirrors, shutting
down the wolf’s face. An
ancient spider jumps
on your bronzed ego.

A transsexual walks on
the ramp to defend her territory.
Cucumbers would jump to
conceive the obnoxious yawning.

Shout
Shout


shouts of reason hard to explain...

their pharoah is to blame,


Share to rock asunder;
belly is the beast to stand still nor defeat

rivers run in order




march their swift cowardice...
onto their spineless and their weak


true to be timid
afraid of it's fold

to abject it to blend,
sought through the make believe

to abject to each shelter

the stern the pathetic

a timeless pathetic wimp
the back alley pimp



up stage on the deserter...
