James Munro

Here he comes, with his

three great

solid gold

jewel encrusted

pentacles,

sunshade carried by fawning priests.

Like a pharaoh.

Rather like the High Priest
you declined to speak to,
O Lord of all the stripped and humiliated,
of those on the wrong end of the boot and the electrode
and the scourge.
