An Opiate for Clare

By Sepulcrawl

In the district of reaping soil,
Arching backs of reptilians
And lesser spirits
Of skyward advance.

Drifting on breezes left
Recumbent in the lesser days
Of interest and insurrection,
Maxims: the obsolete.

Bleed the boughs of cheerleaders
And others, the
Suburban menace,

Sufferance in the planes of
Inebriated holocaust;
Where the frames of men
Meet the steel of other
Worldly barbarisms and
Cliché cocktail talk.

So, we matriculate in
The wild somnolence;
A passing waif,
A common man,
An opiate for Clare.

    your works so far is a viscous mix of harsh fantasy and even harsher reality. "Worldly barbarisms and/Cliché cocktail talk" perfect.
