Came the Storm

Came the storm, the lapping dogs
flicked their teeth of despair
around the tails of desperation.
Fuck off, I'm thinking only of
the yes,
the yes,
the yes.
I dream of a solid horizon.
Whither thou goest? Whither who cares?
Tired clichés,
and the no,
and the no,
and the no.
Cascade into a joke.
Laughing? Not I.
Spiders dripping their webs
into the barn.
Pigs bellowing their outrage.
Came the storm,
came the storm,
came the storm.
Raining? Not I?
Fuck off, it's useless
to argue with a
disease that is
infecting the body.
Afraid? I am.
