Conan The Barbarian

Conan walks beneath the jeweled stars.
He stops to rest. He does not stop to rest.
He wears the Sword of Gloaming on his arm.

He kills the serpent monster in its nest.
He puts the Sword of Gloaming where it sticks.
He stops to rest. He does not stop to rest.

He wears the wizard's head, the larynx,
about his waist. The blood rolls down his arm.
He walks the naked kingdoms near and far.
Conan walks beneath the jeweled stars.

The Little Death

When we sleep it is the little death
a dress rehearsal for the one to come
for in both states what dreams may come
linger in the life to come
come come come become
beneath the moon and sun
as one.
