SINGING OF A DROWNING KING

in the doorway where they washed in blood and sewn sail
scratched lovers names ,and thenĀ impaled
fortune born across the rats tale
caution in drunkenness- traitors and failĀ 
blind men dance stripped to the waist
ladies in nakedness feast in the spill
Whine bloody cherry red disguises the scream

orders given in the stones used as crutchs
Quickly they rush a direction is coming
im holding your hand,
Marble and plain
engraved in symbols
smudged as we save

Dogs are barking -Humans outranked
chisel and tooth
steel in tank
History is limping dragging its skin
Burnt the pages and soaked in gin

Mother has gone now
drifted of slow ,surreal and dreamy
unknown in nightmare
while strangers gave the orders
she rode away
and mother is blessing them taking the stay

i awake with sodden foot
no boots to tread the holy found
on all fours i look at her
smooth noise erupts into her lip
spreading forward eating the sound
asleep in the waking

Drowned in the found
