Crestfallen Forlorn Maker Man

By: Hunter Christian

 

Taker of heartbreak measured

The dormancy of malevolence coerced

Unplowed field that lay fallow

The verbiage coarse and terse

 

The sermon delivered perilously

From the remnants of the shallow

As the crestfallen forlorn maker man

Dangled wriggling from the town gallows

 

Maker of promiscuous carnal knowledge

The intimacy of benevolence lured

Phallic men file onward paying hallage

Thrice years forgotten, rotten, and uncured

 

The seamstress’s wares hung precariously

From her wretched body gauntly sallow

As the crestfallen forlorn maker man

Tangled his angst within she listlessly dallow

 

Woebegone lay the wretched upon the screw

Tightened down the crackling bones cracked

Guffawed lyrics rise high above the pews

Incensed burned velvety ambiance of lilac

Parishioners’ transient faith bade adieu

Ritual denouement wafting scents of stacte

Bloodbath be a killer with crimson imbued

Smile on crestfallen forlorn maker man

 

Reset does he the perpetual hourglass

Time passages fallen in spirited sands

Beset by mortal coil drowning en masse

 

Die on crestfallen forlorn maker man

 

Regret bequeathed unto lesser offspring

The Crestfallen Forlorn Maker Man

Surveyor of the Jewish Ghettoes

Blue-eyed reaper’s scythe cleared the meadows

 

Harvest did he the gold of the dead

Upon hallowed ground his boots did tread

Upon deep slumber into the witching hour

Lay his blonde head;

in peace, guilt ridden naught, nor draped in dread

 

No dread
