a cortège at curtsy

 a cortège at curtsy 


flashing blue lights slice the rain

the mouldering of the blue-bloodless corpse

repository of a lake of tears as crocodile as

the cortège that snakes out of this sad country’s demise

the roaring future flattened forever 

this day will be the low before the falling

lights going out in the eyes of boredom 

all the opiates of the masses have debased the currency

the disenfranchisement of a summit without a view

a valley without a river a street without lights

i’ve seen it all before sees it again

and again it takes a poem’s pause
