Freds Kesner lives and writes from south Sydney, Australia
They call us mad, they call us cursed,
For we will not bow to their painted gods—
Their temples reek of incense and decay,
Their priests chant empty words to dying fires.
...
people are our real legacy;
one day sure, entire poems
shall have been forgotten,
while remains a phrase or
...
O Dionysus, breaker of chains,
I sing not for the meek, the tamed, the gelded—
But for the wolves who howl against the night,
Who tear the velvet lies from rotting thrones!
...
Secrets remain shrouded, unspoken,
yet I see them seep
into the spaces between breaths.
Truth, as it stands,
...
They tell us to hold steady,
keep the ground firm,
but the ground itself shifts—
silent adjustments beneath
...
