Round and round the gyre treads
of pagan gods and hymnal bread
the grinding wheel the span of Bran
his head aloft in foriegn sands
English blood in Jerusalem.
*
Crucify Galilean schemes
punishment to those that dream
Tycho's nose in celestial spheres
sniffing Sphinx's cowering tears
fleeing Thesian riddles nigh,
the leonine bird that cannah fly
lies captive in deserter's sky
all is quiet where angels lie.
*
Dudaelian pits where Nephel weep
Azazel bound scats jazz on deep
devil music composed en heape
blisters mortal ears in keeps
of pirate doves, crow's nests retreat
to American shores where Nazis sleep
*
The jungle thick, like women's hair,
proves best suited to the lion's lair
lying Daniel crowned the king,
Oneiromancer's keys he brings
held aloft in thickened blood
torn from the Promethean mud
