Flowers for Moloch — Christopher Barnes

Posted on by 1 Comment

The astonishing stuff was summer clouds,
Twirling a trice,
Touch-and-go, dispensed with, smashed.

But The Comforter of prevalent banks
Sabbaths through the ages,
Overdue for embezzlement
Or somersaulted in deluge
To a credulous pocket in ground.
