Welcome Back Peter

Look at them. On the yachts
of slavic robber-barons:
not so much hand-in-glove,
as cap-in-hand.
Led, of course, by the Prince
of Thieves, lately home from
exile in the new Byzantium;
an almond-seller's son -
not darkness' Prince, not
Beelzebub, nor a fallen angel:
a ludicrous bungee-d Lucifer
falling from grace
and gracelessly returning
with the twang of elastic moral fibre.
