Dark
written
after the Tunisian beach massacre June 2015
...chapel down, seek sacraments,
secular salvations, god weary rites.
the world is on a wild crusade tonight
blood spattered marble never cleans to white,
chandeliers saluting loving couples
explode in shattered light
waiters scouring empty tables freeze
the concierge on clockwork throws a grin
'Sir, Madam, please, please come again'
seek any sacraments, secular salvations,
god weary rites. sand shimmers in the
darkness.
the world is on a wild crusade tonight
