Lamentable Conviction
I stand
in Conquest’s aftermath, where bronzed valleys bemoan crimson-soaked chants.
Frantic charioteers storm off to slaughter an enemy of lamentable conviction.
In faint whispers, Gods of Wind and Rain clamour a thunder of horses’ hooves upon my crusade
cleansing the bloodshed and core of fallen kinfolk I never knew…
In that rancid place, the gloom of dreams summons those clanging upon heartstrings of acquiescent minds.
For it is in their whirling laughter, their incomprehensible actions, that we shall find truth!
Those who follow false Messiahs shall surely perish… not by thy enemy’s sword nor hand, but by their own feeble foolery.
A tolerant innocence exists only in our yesterdays where the strong return shaking in triumph; bearing freedom’s crest.
In black armour, we ride to the depths of Hell, where the only enemy to conquer
is ourselves.

Reflections in Silver
I
You could smell the dead when the stone was rolled away. My father rose inside me, took my hands and head and turned me to the echoes reflected by the mirror's face, "Welcome back!" they said.
II
Mirrors, placed opposite in rooms reflect to infinity, reflect on the emptiness of, on the fullness of
infinity.
III
I do not like to walk along the shopping strip because the Butcher's window holds my father's face. He mirrors my expressions, apes my curling lip and always leaves me questioning his sense of place.
IV
Mirrors, should be buried with the dead. The dead should have one large mirror in their hands. They should have small mirrors placed on their eyes We should see ourselves in the dead.
The dead can hold us tightly in their hands. The dead can hold us in their eyes. We can be made of silver.
The dead are thin skinned and silver. Their eyes and tongues are silver.
Mirrors are silvered and thin skinned.
The skin of death is thin and is of silver.
Death can always be found in a mirror.
