an old one from 2015-2017 but redone in 2022; was never really satisfied w it

 BABYLONIAN ESCHATOLOGY

     a hidden message
     is lodged down her mouth

     her arms are amputated
     without anesthesia
     and then she is thrown
     into the freezing waters

  her spirit chases its own tail
  and sick and tired she sours
  until she abandons, even forgets the very message
  she ought to have delivered
  at the peril of herself and her whole world

she was anointed in the bloodwine
and in the ecstasies of becoming one in the ranks
of all beautiful and canonized succubae

    the art of love and eroticism became derided
    with the moral falseness of excessive carnal wanton
    and that intoxicating ouroboric hysteria of gluttony

     it shall all sink like rock and stone
     to the sleeping Tiamat,
     dwelling in her dormancy
     at the bottom depth…

    the appalling message must reach her

    and what is the message ?

       it is

    “come soon please, return to us !

     we have turned nihilistic again,
     and we need you, mother, to set us straight”

we must reach her the message before it is all too late...
