THE GHASTLY SHIP OF TRAUMA

a spooky ship set sail in exile
and left for the rangeless oceans
 but the ship
   is flagged
     with the colors of discontent.

   a beast howls
      and it echoes
            across the sea
              w h i c h   s l e e p s  .

   across thresholds
   of weird and undefinable dimensions
        and trapped by the spell,
         the lure of dissolving objectivities! apparition bizarre.
        
   memorial remnants of paedophilac molestation
  and festivals of horrendous abuse
    float over unknown spiritual magisteria.
          discarded, piled memories...
           ocean of perverse remembrance.

 the dreadful face of all the unknown unknowns
     weep mental imagery from its eyes as voids.

   a banshee shrieks
      and it echoes
            across the sea
              w h i c h   a w a k e n s .

tears of holy salt
  and the muck of damaged bodies 
    coalesce as one in the glorious chalice
  which is
  the brazen chalice of dirty transcendence
  and this chalice is not crafted to receive
   some kind of paradisaical nectar
    or some bloodwine sacrament of sinly expiaton -
   but it has been made
    to receive
    the mudwater
    of the divine and the numinous ugly.

     it is this holy goblet we carry
     across new worlds
     as to bury it in the humus of unknown coasts
 as to hide the flame boiling inside it
    from that which pursues it in emity
    and persists across the epochs
                   to extinguish it.

   a mare cries
      and it echoes
            across the sea
              w h i c h   i s   d e a d .

a spooky ship returns ashore
   to the bay of bad poetry
    with a great poem
      lodged down its throat;
      it is the poem of the ghastly ship
                     of     t r a u m a .
