Liu must die
So love must live.
Puccini scarifies
All his little women
So the ice princess
And the ice prince
May clash in bitonal surrender.
Hunger appeased
The fortunate ones
Glittering with desire
Now control the world and all its glory.
Liu must die
Yet Timur lives
The old king wanders the steppes
Holding her memory in his wizened hand
Blindly crazed
For his unrequited slave.
Liu must die
So gods begin.
How this order magnifies our lusts
Deepens our rapacious pleasures
And signifies ‘the moment’
In all its consumptive splendour.
Vincero
The football sequenza
The winner takes all
Now sunrise showers heaven’s intent:
Liu must die.
May they live one thousand years
The glittering prize
Brocaded in diminishing circles:
In the fall from grace
Is the loss of power.
Beyond the honeymoon
What life beckons?
