The Tainted Goat Poem by Chris Zachariou

The Tainted Goat



Delirium rules.

The soldiers of the tainted goat
are dancing at the white altar, depravity
is a virtue and the Sultan of Seville
rules the holy kingdom.

Guinevere, seduced by promises
of a candy-floss existence,
abandons all pretence of wisdom
and her modest words of red and white
drowned at the bottom of the sea.

King Arthur 's dead and Camelot lies in ruins.
