Teach me despair, teacher, you're wicked at that.

There is no good, only evil,

empty and undefeated it resurrects

centuries of waste and eternal hate.

In evil, we disolve, my foe

by degrees more potent

than crimes of unmaking.

The shadows eat the light, my foe,

in shadows we disolve.

and we will worship no lesser evil

but offer bleakest vacuum

an untender sacrifice

of dark matter for waste

perfection refuses to touch-

You can trash it here

- your charity of curses-

this air insoucient

fire merciless,

earth unrepentant

and water full of rage.

Your smile, my foe, how evil

screeching love - dividing her in platoons

though she screams mutiny again-

and you are harbouring hate

deeper in unsacred dark

protecting her, all lonely,

- a legacy for whatever.


There is no good, only evil my foe,

and hate conquers all.


And now you kill Love, my foe?

This mourning kissed by dew and risen

because night must rest

exposing light going backwards

as in universal accident,

we seek Grace, (she is handcuffed, all jealous)

and Mercy (who fled to find herself)

and Love was hunted and slain (great shame)

and virtue lowered eyes, shook head and died-

absorbed in universal night.


And watching fingers shake and cigarette,

I notice time, tired of cursing

exploded in Now

and Now dug up sinister

deformation and Truth was buried there

and - my God -

if I were master baited more

to evil arts and signs

I would hearten this glorious hate,

-at least its template.


Devolving slowly in dust

this firey hell, beyond your poles

with one last big drag

on a cigarette

we blend forever

in smoke.
