His life was full of joviality
one party after another
but then he got too cocky
he got in with a nasty crowd
made a false move
whereupon he was thrown
into a bear pit
his flesh torn to shreds
by rampant beasts

Happy dreams
cast in lengthy interludes.
Murky rivers wash over me;
those demons are hard to cast away.
Long, cold winters,
sombre songs in my head
then the mind lightens,
imagination ignites,
and new paths open.

Days and days he tried to justify, in his own mind, all the things he had done in a lifetime of profanity.
Ruining innocent lives.
Luring them into his home.
Surely retribution would arrive, in one form or another.
And it did.

That wave of sorrow
we try to hold back
with a steady mind
when all is in pieces,
torn apart
we keep walking
that hard terrain
until sunlight loosens
the darkness.

Provocative pursuits
juggling fire,
naked on national television,
interrupting sacred silence,
shouting at the top of your voice,
running with bulls
through a sleeping town,
calling out the minister for fools.
