A father and child in delirium Vomit wrenched from the infants gullet Smeared across the stone floor As penance and sacrifice The paupers emaciated form With hollow eyes Gazes to the bastion With toxic words He is bathed in gold Bones are buried beneath satin Bread and meat are left to rot In ritual catatonia Carry my burdens of dreams and longings Watch in ecstasy The procession of retrogrades To the waiting of grinding teeth Starving bowels Cast aside the feast And burn for the semen of magnates
