Titanomachius

Blindfolded,
Justice springs unbalanced
From swinging scales
Of Judgement.

Revealed,
Our Totem Animals
Emerge from Id
As jackals and hyenas
Who eat puppies.

Twelve Titans all,
We devour ourselves
In cannabalistic incest.

Amok beyond Tartarus,
Sired by excess of heart
Our skeletal hands
Rise with Chthonic howls
To clasp your lips
And with Cultish frenzy
Pull you back
Into Abyss.
