The midnight parliament of large-eyed owls
assembles in the barren desert night.
Settled deftly between thorn and nettles
they speak with idiotic hooting and maniacal screeching.
So too arrive murderous crows and
grave-robbing hyenas reeking of carrion feasts.
Hairy legged priapismic satyrs
dance drunkenly to cacophonous music through the night.
Bounded by chaos and measured with desolation
they rule the deserted places forever outside the city.
Come and see the bloated unburied corpses.
Come and see the blood soaked sand,
the burning sulfur, blazing pitch, and endless smoke.
assembles in the barren desert night.

Bounded by chaos and measured with desolation
they rule the deserted places forever outside the city.
Come and see the bloated unburied corpses.
Come and see the blood soaked sand,

(Isaiah 34)
