Two wings of the choir Crushed by Te Deum and Dies Irae. Rioting crowds clamber, Not with a whimper but a whine. A poor cur's lapse. Square dwellers begging for change, An arid spring. Cold, unmarked, grave. Birds flown to entropical climes. Sore ire cysts sick eyes saw. Poised upon collapse A poor cur's lapse. And with a pauper's lisp In slips apocalypse. The lying and the lamb: Unlikely bedfallows. Cloistered bones, now free, Hung from streetlights, gibbering. Tongue-tied tastemakers, Sage and sinnerman, Where ya gonna run to? Babel on. One final brass blast Seize to exist. Yea, judge me But parse sentences. Heartbeaten, youthless. The long liquid list. Yea, judge me But parse sentences.
