I am Dancing this Morning

Masquerading in underpants
Beside the dry cold fire place
My feet are damp, upon the wood
My blood is gravel I am -
Incredulity dancing today
Singing a riposte to Jonah
"I saw the child burn
I saw the river dry
I saw so many things
Incessant match stick lethargy
Nonsense from the off to be
A host of brutal rebuttals
I dance without rhythm
I catch a toe upon the stone
That yawns and eyes me
With wan airs and sombre
Black marble curiosity
I sing again, for naught
"I saw the queen arrive
I saw the moon collide
Dressed in sunshine
And jewelled pride
I fear myself more than death
I take a cigarette and suck
Dry effortless mastication
I am dancing this morning
