Exorcism

Exorcism

Without the rolling of the head,

The spew of green and black and red

Without the guttural refrain

I have expunged my evil bane.

That part of heart in which you slithered

Is exsiccated, winter withered.

The exprobration of your word

Expelled now to depths unheard.

Expurgated from the black

I am never going back.

No exceptions will be made

All extortions have been paid.

Extraction of the maybe jewel

Excavated fossil fuel.

I light a match explicitly

To your vast duplicity.

So I express and expiate

Your vapid reign did terminate.

The pages, white, they held my fire

So to ash you did expire.
