the dingo lounge

those of the brown-skin lycanthrope
have merely become the forgotten offspring
from the dark ages of the dreamtime
the black man’s beliefs
are being swallowed up and regurgitated in foreign lands for a
dollar
the night creatures sucked into a vacuum of the techronic abyss
the shapeshifters skulk around the dingo lounge
haunted by the screaming engines of the machines of
consequence
longevity just a whisper in the wind
as their numbers dwindle
and the dark hours are stolen by the monsters of new:
drug addicts, paedophiles and killers
the spirits have almost lost their foothold
the children of the rainbow serpent have no use for demons
scientific justification has rationalised their roles with prozac
and institutionalisation
the dreamtime can be resurrected anytime
and found on the video store shelves
while in the dingo lounge
redundancy and health in death escalates
the bonemen have performed their last dance
and the shrieks of the black dingo go unheard in the night
as the ferryman has already gone down with his ship
and Morpheus in his arduous attempts to dream
has taken to anti-depressants
there comes no storrnbird to deliver them to another side
as they fall into the landscape of the shadowmead
and the faded memories of the storytelling damned
