The Great Beast

The Great Beast

The great beast through the waterfall

wash hands with blood before the card game

a pagan ritual of cloud on the open barrier

where the tough opening ten tons padlock

black hawk down the hall

damn rose perfumes the an altar boy

with ash from the volcano irrigating

desecrated the grave of what was mine

the battlefield large

in endless conflict

blood bags are pasture

devil in Herb yard

glued his eyes in darkness

living the brightness of the shadows

splendor of barbarism below the belt

spark of hell and blood in the works
