Nero Fiddles Anew (poem)

Thought I would riff and stream a little amid this never ending current cluster we are mired in, tired in of never ending sleepless angers …

Nero Fiddles Anew

Nero fiddles anew

tunes

a world askew

away from what is, was true

while strings snap

with twings and pings and discordant pops

like gunshots  

and rings of liar

under a bow on fire

scratch across what was left

of body violin

once beautiful

vibrant

tune filled

a sin not to  

appreciate full

the song I sing

instead

direct  

song if tell

song if I tell

song if I fell you

otherwise

no correcting what

is played

askew

anew

askew new to you

.

Now

.

I am the new

found

glorious song

sung untrue all such

right the wrongs

from what allowed

perceived

once

now hallowed

blessed

crutch

I will relieve you of

old

past you’ll be glad you didn’t knew

once

relieve you of that limp

of truth

and history

to walk straight

now

step step step in dark

heavy heeled time

never too late

or will berate

till end days

just breathe with me instead

solidarity

in hate’s new stead

I am new Christian

new god

everyone else late

to the sustain

of me

and party

of me

.

Don’t mind the flames
