The Grim Intensity of Mars

 

Tonight the grim intensity of Mars

Along the horizon is the war god’s warning

A pagan prophecy of blood among the stars

A judgement upon this planet of ghosts

 

Tonight the withering scorn of Jupiter

Withdrawing his light is a repudiation

Of Earth’s cultures of disassociation and death

Of powdered skulls for smoothing a footer pitch

 

While corpses influence corpses through blank blue screens

The last man dies with Karamazov in his hands
