A Nation At Dusk
Mar. 4th, 2021 07:52 pm
Debauched and careening,
a faint whiff of Rome ablaze,
I thought it would be taller,
grander,
but there is no fight left in it.
Its principles have been hollowed.
Its resources have been squandered.
Its grandeur has been raped.
There was a dream,
but the young don't remember it,
and the old are too tired to care,
numbed and worn down,
the daily fascistic media bombardment skull-fuck,
rootless and tumbling,
we scream at the walls,
at each other,
into the void,
denying the body,
yet craving the flesh,
because no one makes love anymore,
and our nation is a masochist.
Straps, knots, and clasps...
Though I'm bound,
I'm not obliged.
The hand that guides is the hand that reins.
(Reigns?)
Push me deeper.
Let the waves pull me under.
Strike a rhythm that breathes from the root.
Split me with sound.
Split me with light.
Split me with your third leg.
When I bow from pleasure
or bend from pain,
it looks the same,
but what a noise!

We hesitate at the water's edge
so dark,
and so still.
Fear lurks in our hearts.
We hold our breath
before taking the plunge.
The danger is real,
not imagined,
not anymore.
Doing the nod,
enveloped in a blue haze,
more numbed than pleasured,
we dream,
we lust,
we yearn for freedom,
we yearn to know,
and to be known.
Body and spirit intertwine,
pressing flesh,
pressing wills,
a watery tryst,
so deep,
it drowns a nation.
