Medieval torture griddles
The pigs wings
sharp as knives and chisels
do scrape and grind like tools,
create the pain of medieval torture griddles
on the open fire,
to turn me sides-to-middles
and bring my powers to rest
as to move would wake their wild incestuous
pestilence
and give me cause to scream in weird discomfort
as if in some dream, not master of my body
taken over by some other fiend
and lead along an avenue without a bend,
held stiff and straight
in chain mail of such weight,
my strength flaked out
I lie corpse-like slaked.
No cause for stress
and yet it does not bless,
these 'blessed' idiots that make a mess
of my normal happy self
now in distress.
