AUSTIN HERMIT
Burak Bayülgen
What else does it offer
to the azymous wafer
o’ an Austin hermit
and his pentecostal portent
with the viscounts on the spot
who jesuitically herald
the invalid light or soot,
maybe Lilith and Cain
‘s gooch a seed will reign
the Juidcium crusis
for a wretched in jaundice
the malice o’ an apprentice
with the last words in his deathbed?
ARCANA
Burak Bayülgen
Above mountains
a dynasty
battles with the
icons’ faulty
solar, icy
thorned Awrystli
where arcana
has befallen.
The ebony
o’ sheet pendants
seizes uneath
eased triumphs
before bigot
goat disciples
among distinct
oaths’ beguilements
which descent the
signs blatant:
Ra’s genesis –
torn factitious
spake a grim
temper heinous
amid the snow –
pure ametist
when arcana
has befallen.
YE’R MAKER’S GUTTER
Burak Bayülgen
This is the womb
Ye’re supposed to be born
while ye’r maker’s gutter
has chosen a cloister
But the fancy reverie
cloaked by the ancestry
o’ mercyful oaths
that demand pungent deeds
such as the argent thoughts
conquered the urgent needs
o’ infernal temptations
soothed by frank regressions
demised with the suspicions
o’ a maker well informed.
