The Dilettante Diaries: "Dominion"
Something wicked this way comes
Can you not hear it banging on it’s drums?
March on sweet innocent
35 is just a number
take a seat on the bench
catch your breath
you think you know it all
you know nil
you know none
when it comes
Dominion
Mid-way there
walking up your stairs
worried about cracked windows
stand in front of your mirrors
take silent reflection
grace granted to you
for those you
closed a door on
lost and broken
dull in your bright wake
A crack in the window?
We’ve all just begun
to see the Sun
Some are lost
Some are open
All of us now playing
swift cards
for hidden tokens
The Quiet War
rests in some
aware of mirrored
windows broken
ignored by gormless
know-it-alls
riding bareback with their
twitching trigger fingers
well oiled on their premature
smoking magnums
Something wicked this way comes
Listen to it banging on its drums.
A crack in the window
lets it in
Sun or Darkness
"Dominion"
