To Kingston Come
By Mona
My dreams have taken on new shapes
Premonitions if only theories
New effigies of mystery
and premeditated murder.
Last night I was back at his house
He never lets me go, until midnight birds call
I'm the server to his harbored whores
Lady Liberty in chains.
Screams courage between the sheets
And his emotional spouses, bipolar rape
That strange hatred tearing pages
From my sketch of future embraces
My parables of prophecy and races.
Love is like this--she says--she has
His unborn moon, dangling from her
like a talisman from her fingers
his hand measuring, lingers
brutally....over everything.
She's weeping bitterly,
they'll reap her words remaining
like fields of flame, naming
her blamed empire the same
for his fractured stories.
This revolution scorned
The thief dances on airtight lines
This way to Kingston- he cried
before the wards and sartorial
hopes that died.
Our kingdoms coming, High
a cocaine coma white priestess
Under the soma skies a horizon
Ashes to Aisha goodbye....to those lovers
of our minds. We're leaving them...
And their petty bright wonders....
To Kingston come.
