Do What Thou Wilt

Etymologically,“Satan” represents the misuse of esoteric trend

Of the upstream, self-propelled currents of extinction

So similar are insufferable, incessant flows of confusion

And if you want to know how I feel

There is no human race. There is no harbor upwards of any stream

Only lines carving a parting of floes open and close

Chase the thawing season from north to south

While blue discolors, see everything drain to blue,

For all persistence of rudders, to the depths sinks all emotion

Fore, traded to winds, a bearing once straight and true

Through each greasy seam of the knuckling deckhand

Slicks the Captains orders, a buggering dose of boredom

From the loudspeaker, ‘tween his boogers flicked,

The thawed calendar is a pocked target practice

And the mauled speech of crazed language

Reaches this offshore buzzing of flies

Yes, the tide’s sway is a-dizzying

That you get used to with some

Galivanting of shoreman’s legs

Till the hush of hardwood clap

Remembers him, lone seabird

Crossing the abyss careless,

Satan is, soul of the sea

Wondering

Flapping

Without way
