chance for happiness
lassoed
by rank considerations
how gruel came to be
known for mineral
transformation
magick gold wielded by
the humanist alchemist
abandoned foraging
in the black woods
where the children fled
in panic
the dystopic hunters'
slavering wet mouths
would ooze the blood
of the slowest
who mounted the strange beast
god men at the swamps
the killer shadows already seen
in jungle mirrors
of Chaos Water
arrange their cloaks
across the boned shoulders
young men who know no
fear
that do not
hesitate to chant the
Womb Words of Power
written on the fossilized
back of the Legless Man
in unison
ov-um ov-um ov-um sac-
rum
tension
released
the power restored
absent the awareness
without time
