Wasteful Bones that write the Flesh are found and soon preserved

balladeers urging                                                     lyrical words from their drought                                                 not so pretty and bleak swept                                               pub life turn away from tradition   ...

The New Vulcan

I dreamt I saw Vulcan the God of Fire in human shape; I was walking in a forest drenched in rain; He stood with arms extended crying; The planet is rapidly heating and I am fearful; Volcanoes cannot match spreading greenhouse gasses; He is not the God of Volcanoes anymore; And I rejoiced that my new faith will convert him.     This heating world is the place for my beliefs; And I have chosen to worship Climate Change; Instantly I desired to demonstrate global warming to him; And tell him I am willing to bear scoffers and sneerers; And suffer beastly trolling for his sake; And in my rejoicing my heart was beating very quickly.   I believe this new happiness is the getting of me; Though not yet pleasant, for I am still learning joy; Walking with the new Vulcan in the rain; Feeling nervously happy and growing humble; And I said that I did not deserve this happiness; And the new Vulcan told me nor did he.

Spasms

And persuading preachers love their daily glory; But when their glory doesn’t last, they become depressed; And pleading prayers are offered to their God; Giving thanks for the sensational times spent persuading; Their solemn sorrows aired in fallacious spasms.
