the abuser returns
crisscrossing love
with armoured revenge

and a lovely fresh bunch
of violence

Malleus Maleficarum

the tree of life stands tall
its canopy of roots
above our countless dead

bright cloaks of leaf
in passing

the axe in men's hands

the arrogance of editors
continues
to astound

the silence of doubt
gnawing at the night

dawn’s brief inspiration

#vss365 #silence

the silence of greenbacks
leaping
to defend the world

salmon not returning
to their birth pools

shareholders of nought

= and now not the news =

blocked by silent snow
all sound of children's screams
apparently

while bonfires of the vain
enflame our nightly screens

between two ads for SUVs

below a spinning night
as priests of esoteric bang your head
against blockchained walls

burning with the scarlet light
of crafted AI storms

the promise of a thousand darker dawns

= 42 was only a guess =

there is nothing left in all the sky
but light
though darkness gathers
by the soles of men

lift up your head above the dust
of your own undoing

remember rainbows

= aurora =

the sun coughs, discretely
midnight flaunts her party dress
cameras applaud

silent shutters folding
darkness to curtains

vain manicured light
