torquemada downtime (11/06/2017)
The warm waxon wood of tables
Lined in Heroes' hallways, notched
by us:
Hatchet traders,
Toothless Raiders
Deserter hellhounds chasing sunsets
Roping and reigning
Cheating and feigning
Silverfang'd denizens of dives and drag shows
FREAKS
Wrangled beneath
The white hot board of kinship
growing like mould in spaces
secret and sacred, sold sages
sharing scar and syringe, rattling cages
never selling or trading truths
Union unicorn thieves , dying all together
That we may never hang separately
For fare or unfair
My fellow losing bets
My fellow underdogs
Amen
