Aclod of a cock-lover yawns between thrusts, pierces a dead-lover behind thewall of trust. Bereft of a cross and chosen by the slain, he can't forgive aflesh-less body scavenging for blame.

The yawning gulf

Between an orphan and an heir

Leaves the stray boys hovering

In the coldest air

Fear is the ghost

A boast between their legs

Jagged, waving hands

Reach them from the dregs

They're pumping it up in the garden of celibates

Love like barley bristling in the heat

Then a cold blast of laughter pours from a virgin

And thick, bulky boys recoil in defeat

They grope to anoint

The shadow-beast between them

But the coarse meal they share

Will never sustain them

The clod of a cock-lover

Mutters angrily

As desire exhorts

A hidden litany

He sings before

The augurs of doom

And cries out for covering

When mercy leaves the room

A bull of a man

Bows to cadavers

And thinks with a mind

Bent inward from chatter    

He points his battle-flag And his horny tongue In the direction Of the stiff boys he hung Encrusted in rawflesh and a ruffian's hustle lovegathers dust flexing hopeless muscle.
