Listen to “The Mansion” by Lunasam
(dedicated with love and appreciation to Bruce Joyner)
In the mansion nobody mentions
In dimensions hitherto unfantomed
Where man shuns man
There is a great unknown collection
Terrible things happen there
That nobody knows about
Because it’s not spoken of
No one has written of this
Terrible abuse, who stands accused ?
No one
Does a Dracula Jesus live there?
Surely there if anywhere
But how could I know
Sitting here in my chair
Over the hill
Over the edge of the hedge
Drawbridge up
Over the moat
Walk the tightrope
A circle of hooded figures
Paroxysmal grimaces
Not a smile but a rictus
Hissing horrors conjured
Madness chaos conjoined
Is this the smoke of my imagination
Or is it real ?
