Merchants of Tarmacs

 

 Merchants of Tarmacs

Skilled for the workshop of rage

Reservoirs of gins

Eyes flashing scarlet lightnings

With voices rumbling like sleepy thunders

Quaky enough to jolt to life the ghost of convulsing buses

Thunderings from lips coated from burnt leaves

Mouth dispensing burnt incense

 

These are hands that rip side mirrors and write rainbowed 

nothings on windshields

Nothings that bring in 

so much for the Lords of the seats

Sweatless Lords with bountiful harvests

 

Every minute a sprint

From  bodies like galleries

Bearing violent mementos of the past, 

from streets of blood

With opened windows flashing 

From rails of ugly grins


Illegitimate grins that legally rattle the spine of a resistance
