Someone just bought Saddam Hussein's personal banjo (signed) on eBay--for $15,000.

   "Death of the Great Stone Face"

The geometric tortoise is grave
Flying over fjord
And the thick light of Izdubar, kiln
Acid on my mind:
The sprockets engage with raucous rhyme,
I watch flayed people
Scurry. From what energies I give
Emerges a sigh.
To flourish in dark America
As in porous tomb,
Pungent prophecies with little force
Scads of skalds alone
Peal, rim/ abode & narrow Alcor
Gap ours the lean way
Stirious (this wretched qabbalah)
Down where fulsome faith
Find Cthulhu ftagn in Oz
Crepuscular key.
The carbonaceous gleam throbbing pearl
I insist is form
Enough, wisps away into last math
By a sinking lamp.

Emerald & moth licked anagram,
Profuse aorta
Muezzin out of purlieu one black dove
Against azalea
Glory: & the alibi was Rome
Mutiny demon
They cast out with execrations roach
Hubris alembic
Stayed, filled, terrible verbs did; neon
Blessing what sea.:.? Blood.
