Alike, Judas & Dejaneira
in the interjangle of their being
jape in the jaundice jar the genuine wherewithal
of Puritanic panic-emitting Morals counterfeit
& pull in their cynical clothes-line gamut
of trinket Hopes in the sinews of Guilt
O, the stink!... Whose is the carrion
upon the land? vegetarian (like fungus), nectarean
of tissues so young (octogenarian): Your
teeth are falling,
O Pirate!
and are picked up
by worms crawling across Silence --Your knell
is tolling, tolling!
The gallows are calling,
calling ... Chirrup gently, eager Falcon,
O you piratebird, who from your dais
raised:
Paredon!
Paredon! 129
a careless cigarette
contaminating the Sunset's sweat,
your adolescent vividity
"Ready!"
across th'quaint culpidity 130
"Aim!"
through your veins shoots! and
"Fire!!"
Rigidity! Insipidity! Putridity! ...
^{129} "Paredon! Paredon!" Literally: "The wall! The wall!" cried the people goading Fidel Castro into shooting the criminals of the previous regime --I use it because, ironically, it's so near a sound the angels will hymn at God: "Pardon! Pardon!" (rather than for any specific political implications).@
