The world was upside down
with mindless, neutral sounds –
exorcistic ploys Her mission
Demons suffering reincarnation
emptied of power
toward which they strain to
the instructing principle
elemental shrieks ascend
from the snake’s impregnable dungeon,
melted snow entity alien against the wall
And you listeners, wearing the mask of loathing, in order to lay hold, seek succor at the festival of examination
Scream inhuman, jerking and tired of death
fractured cosmos
speech behind speech
right behind right
The world was upside down
with mindless, neutral sounds
