The World Of Dying Love

Topics: classic

The long finger of blackness is holding its head for us.     Dingy bue is its shade,     comatose in movement, hazarding a slow swiftness,     it inches toward us.     Relief comes fitfully.     The dragon alone, an upstart     crowned with drunken spending,     has horse colours as ribbons with his eyes.     It cradles a breast of trembling bone.     Misercorde, Misercorde.     I dreamt I saw skeletal slackness     dangling;     the poverty of touch is a casket     with love in rumbling sockets.     Craziness is the passion of the engulfed,     dribbling pleasantly.     Presentations extended beyond and into themselves.     Slackness schemes with invalid awareness     in a brothel of hope.
