Effluvium(Only the Mad Dance On….)
Trancelike,
the shadows danced slowly
in wild drunken circles
as leagues of dented saints
petition in pained voices
in pained contrapuntal descant
martyred hearts petitioned
to heedless deities
of places both far and imagined
lynxed couriers
only in waiting
of delivering
coded messages
ever enigmatic and blurred
anathemic languages of war
while phalanxed regiments
hidden in faint gloamings
stalemated in waitings
the sides frozen
in perpetuity
as centuries accumulate
