the dog maidens flight

1. born prone to accidents, the maiden suffers the curse of clumsiness

the dog maiden
turns her dark eyes
away
from the soul mirror
that has fallen
from the white hand

in her garden
the shards lay broken
on the mind stones
reflecting liquid sky

the maiden bends
to salvage
the sky shards

the devil dog
in the mirror
bites her hand
black

shards stained
black
with blood
obscure the liquid sky

the black rose
spills
on the mind stones


2. the citizens of dog town blame the maiden for the invasion of the battle pigs

these matters
infect
the pig king

the kingdom lost
in the black rose
that stains the mind stones

the king of thorns
could mingle
with the black blood

wash his hands
in the blood pool
and curdle the mares milk

a devil’s dance tuned
by the fevered whip

the dog knight
won’t yield
the black maiden

he battles the fire words
that assault the dog maiden
when she pleads for the red sky

the dog battle ruins
the soul miser
who would bless
the dog church
and mr. pigs juke joint

war can crush
the light savior
who heals
the battle pigs

3. having unknowingly violated one of the rules of the fairy tale, they do not necessarily live happily ever after

a blood shard
now buried
in a green heart

fortunes wheel spins
on wired hearts

the dog lovers escape
by the night train
that sinks
to the bat world

where the dog dance mocks
the redemption
of the fish saint

there they burn
their dark stars
as they stir
the witch blood
in one green heart
impaled on the fire body

while the fish saint angles
for a penny world
wasted on the mind’s heat

the blood witch
soars on the dark wind
stirring the astral plane


 
the siege of dog town

1. corruption and vice in high places

the dog king counts pig metal
remembers the old days
when the bliss wires
could still thrust
against the mutant time

now a spindle
in the time wave
blisters the sun dope
that would sweeten
the sin cake

mutant...

the siege of dog town

1. corruption and vice in high places

the dog king counts pig metal
remembers the old days
when the bliss wires
could still thrust
against the mutant time

now a spindle
in the time wave
blisters the sun dope
that would sweeten
the sin cake

mutant time
now infects the dream city
conquers the jaw bone
razes the dog church
burns the sugared minarets

the king pledges
sweet horse dope
with an immaculate needle
he blesses the dog people

2. the common people turn to venerated superstitions

under siege the people gorge
on black manna
they pray for a storm coach
and rescue from the werehogs
they siphon the black lands
but the dream waters are poisoned
and demons feast on the soul germs

priests mix red water
to wash the black hand
they raise the dog death
to drain the jade knife

adorned with sex tulips
they sacrifice the dog maiden
who once danced at the roach ball



3. they imagine a few public executions will remove the dog maidens curse

in the courtyard
the pig bishop begs
and baits the pity hook

a mob gags the bishop
they curse his red miter
and burn his fate cats

the donkey jaw
breaks any blue mercy

civil murders waste
the dream forest
in central park
withers every moonday
and plagues any hope
for the soul’s bait

in their cold houses
the dog souls
light candles
before the night falls

beyond the locked doors
weremaidens frolic in the soul dusk

a curse dulls their teeth
when they bite their fire tongues
as they wrangle for the kings body
that rots on the ghost noose

behind locked doors
dog maidens sniff
at the scream plague
and sugar their leper milk
to sprinkle the saviors grave dirt

 
the martyrdom of the fish saint

1. the glory of the fish saint

the saint hangs
in love knots
as doors of light
open his vision

demons sing
their snake tongues
biting at
his god eyes

they break
his dice bones
in the mind jail
where acid spore
spots the fire chairs

the fish saint
blesses his time guts
with a christ cup
and pours it
on the dog wounds

spills his razor steps
to walk the christ wind

whispers the blue truth
to the dog seers

2. the heresies of dog town

hate winds blow
on dog town

pilgrims defile the fish relics
the donkey hag seduces
their bird prayers

the congregation kneels
to bless
the hag queen
they drain the witch blood
and blink at the murder light

the organ grinds
a blue song
where the dog train burns
in the ice night

blood hands
hold the night child
that sobs
on the dog train

the blue song wires
the soul cage
ravishes the dog maidens
who tease the soul’s dirt

the death clock
feeds the night hag
and speeds
the dog dance
