Alexander

Eastern shores, they seemed so full of promise
Minarets, they’ll lacerate the skyline
Opposing seas will drift into the harbour
Gods, they die with screams of Alexander
You’ll only kneel at the Fire God
You’ll only kneel at the Fire God
You’ll only kneel at the…
Balthazar consults his book of numbers
Buildings jangle with the children’s laughter
My mother gathers eyes of distant futures
A woman’s face dissolves, I hear her screetches
You’ll only kneel at the Fire God
You’ll only kneel at the Fire God
Poet dies, stabbed with the knife of words
Young girl marries with bouquet of letters
One life explodes and glides into the sea
The city lies buried beneath the curses
You’ll only kneel at the Fire God
You’ll only kneel at the Fire God
You’ll only kneel at the Fire God
