message from the beyond

3 leopards purring, tiptoe towards sanctified newborn,
should the short-lived messiah, die too soon,
embarking impressions on a drape, veiling visage torn,
pantomime of the gracious grail, hand held with goons.

gremlins in crop circles chanting, fists up,
hypothesizing lazy little funeral songs,
single handed murders, weapons usurp,
justifying crimes point blank, piercing prongs.

scylla & charybdis' extrasensory formal invitation,
forces one to take leave of one's senses,
incapacitated for an hour, regaining perception,
persecuted by one's desolation, without defenses.

eyes bloodshot, watching bloodbaths, blood in the red,
sandman please purge soul, let soar sanguine sleep,
pachyderms pacing, ozone depleted clouds they tread,
poetic or prosaic, this damnable quantum leap.
