Cyclops 328

Some whistle
Some paraphernalia of god
Surnamed gentalia visiting the
Hilarious tabernacle its dearest
Possession: the skull of Mary bought
From a Zulu chief whose chief interest
Was the illuminated word of the dust, the long
Wet text of his cannon
Aimed squarely at the world

The factory of executions
Making widowers of the men
Surnamed secret dearest lord
Flips through volumes it cannot afford
Accepting applause that is not its own
But for citizens of excess
excess
excess
succeeding
To be swallowed whole
By the dominion of yesterday.
