"Python Coliseums"
AZRAEL! Come for me,
I feel the crowds encore
Is emerging closer onto me;
The Seraphims see no more ---
Thier eyes were thrown away at sea,
And the perforations from my skin deplore
Against the sands I die upon on
'Till all sanguinary tears are gone.
Exile is what they find in me
In this sacrosciatic coliseum o'er
The python's caryatides of the dim sea,
Crashing eternal wings ashore
To know that exile is what I'll be
Once it comes to roar an encore
All around fear in me,
Is how I've come to gore
Out fleshes from the parts of me,
Tarrying, here alone, before
All the crowd glaring down at me;
Finding amethyst of sands seeping o'er
The umbras, without form, taking me
Nowhere from the anarchic crowd of encore
Against the sands I die upon on
'Till all sanguinary tears are gone.
O AZRAEL! Come for me,
I feel the crowds encore
Is emerging closer onto me;
Now I see no more.
