The High Road Walker
By lupus tenebrae
A finer tongue is just vindictive like the ones
that its condemning
much the way a sly attorney persecutes the knife
in holding,
let the sinner cast his die and cash his chips on tips
of felt,
see where all the colours lie and fade to mixed amalgam
melt.
Drink and let the words converse amongst themselves within
the stupor,
take a shot and win it big to make some sense of winning,
super
massive in consumption like the center of our galaxy.
Lost
within translations of the politics and fallacy
Of garbled
true delusions that were brought upon the masters
of our kingdoms
and the highlands, and the really seedy bastards.
No, we’re lowly
as the tapeworm in its parasitic sapping
with its hooks and anchors
digging, like the words that we’re entrapping.
We’re the
bards of every acre, every mile to the sun
is life upon the high
road when the low is on the run.
So let us play the fanfare, for
the west was never pillaged
by the crooks and by the schemers who
would take away our village.
