MEDITERRANEAN

The Etruscans worshiped Lucifer's tomb
and Persian gods of wealth and ruin
The Plebeian moods of ginger gloom
conquered Athenian legions and platoons

fist full of Odysseus
burned smiles insidious
drained by the strain of sin
Mediterranean

exceed the purpose 
of finite presumption
dry seminal seed
and sly labial consumption

4015 boyish days
the magistrates underaged
murmur in retrospect
half closed cage

fifteen dishonest years drawn on
gravity's effortless consistency
dissonant and irreverent icons
teething on the recessive pain within
Mediterranean, Mediterranean
