Wild Black Demon

DSC02033.jpg

Cultivate the demon

who glances side-to-side

allow the season

on Earth abide

history is distant memory

from the knife-edge of time

while future is an up-and-coming legacy

wrapped in imagination like rime

a storm of waves

swirls around us

making us slaves 

of our terminus

dark tones upheave

disgusting my landscape

particular perceptions deceive

the route of escape

free us immortal coil

into the wild black

to be laid upon the soil

reposed upon our back

sing a song 

to our fellow

that we'll live long

and in age, mellow
