Bloody Baboon

Bloody Baboon

A Poem by Nick Granger

I am the dog headed ape

Howling at the black lake

From inside the belly

     of Apophis

Through the jerking throat of Setesh

 

Virtue of authentic primate

And all the stars of Osiris

     run dry

 

Aged,

     felled from the brain

 

Gravity

Of the heart

Levity

Of the feather

 

 

[This is for public viewing, though not to be of profit to anyone but myself.]
