Antichrist

devil’s fish

satan on my back
know but forget
secret of his power

he turns me
into fish in stream
then man
with fish dinner
child at side

sharing my
last supper
with future
generation

diner demon
will trip me up
but invisible devil
fells him with
invisible punches

light of god
turns satan into
superman
batman
football player

devil carries ball
for me
knocked
out of bounds

praise ye yeats
the second coming

the falcon cannot
hear the falconer
no leash on my power

things fell apart
the centre party
could not hold
against hitler

the best lack all
conviction while
proud boys and
antifa are full of
passionate intensity

a waste of desert sand
saddam hussein
lion body head of man
about him shadows
of american jets

my hour come round
i slouch toward
bethlehem
ready to be born

​Salisbury Cathedral gargoyle

​gargoyles

weeks of torment
by noisy neighbor
woke at five by
soft yellow light

high on wall
monster faces
one after another
one with glowing eyes
one a lion-man

gargoyles protecting
my cathedral
of sacred words

or demons purged
from my soul and
set loose on world
​
gargoyles disappear
neighbor disappears
