Simply Beyond Help

Zounds!
longing for a
merciful descent into
the terminal ground
where smoky eyes
semi-watch
streams of
semi-(dis)information
exhaled from
smoking brains
on a mission
to search &
deconstruct

ticking clocks
taunt
timely bombs
lost in
purple blobs
of
orange haze
awaiting
purging deluges
sprinkled with
white bolts of
blinding hell

the raving
raven's
feathers flicker
while
flippant tentacles
grope skyward
for
divine decisions
tickling
a sickly brain
  that
  bemoans
  its feckless fate

we shall overwhelm
a sizzling planet
striving for
  brief moments of holiness
in a pit of
squirming soothsayers
  de-coupling
  from
  determinism
becoming
tomorrow’s
sorrow

Mercy me!
a pseudo-prayer
crawls out of
a mournful mouth
(“help me Help MeHelpMe!!!”)
  muttering
  monotonic mantras
  replete with
  rollicking ruminations
  reverberating from
  titanic implosions
  in the dark
  deep sea of
  terrible time

In conclusion...
