Sublime urban tragedy

Lorenz

City made of blood and fluid .

Mad of silence and violence .

Doors closed on fear .

The blind windows 

bear witness to spectral comedies .

Excremental fury in ready-to wear

sewer mind ...

 The midnight barber prowls 

the damp alleys of pleasure.

In the early morning ,

well -behaved dogs ,

 water the freshly hanged 

drinking their coffee 

at the after life bar ..

Death,distributes 

birthday announcements .

 Nothing happening 

in the neighborhood ...

 I introduce me : 

  I 'm the kid from the geography

of the cemetery of the innocents.

At the catacombs hotel ,

I booked my dream for a short eternity ! 

 Nation street, crows watch over 

organic pustule and purulent saliva...

 Tonight , Apophis the great will  jam the program ,

and the rats will dance in revolution square ! 

Finally,the revelation beneath women's dress !

City you're gonna die in a nauseating 

breath of pleasure ! 

and final rattle of whiny desire ! 

Get out of this body Winnie the pooh !

Unbeliever who no longer attends 

friday prayers ...

 ''Woe to you city ,whose prince

adorns himself with the trappings of reason ,

while the storm of insanity rages !

 In the intoxication of orgies,

you will stagger and your shepherd will sink ! ''

    Truly I tell you ! 

'' Stone Abraham on the temple of heroes ,

scatter its remains at the crematorium!

Burn the comic books that speak of impiety,

and offer yourself to the puryfing pyre 

of this sublime urban tragedy ! ''

    Well worded Lorenz this has the feel of fusion of modern and gothic in a surreal birth. Nicely done

    • Lorenz

      I eagerly await the return of Apophis the avenger !

    • Priya Tomar

      A poem on the absurdity of urban life .
      Many dark imagery ...
      Very nice .

      • Lorenz

        In this absurd chimes a small glimmer of sublime !

        • Priya Tomar

          You're a born poet

          • Lorenz

            Happily I forgot the date of birth !

            • Priya Tomar

              Really !🙂😃

            • Ellen Marsell

              The image of Apophis is dual: the mythic serpent is chaos within, the asteroid is chaos without. Together they become a symbol of total menace. Impressive!

            • Lorenz

              Is it this dual threat that surrounds us and lies within us ?
