The Devil is a Magistrate, a Doge, a Chevalier

The devil is a magistrate devoted to Hell’s volupté
asks (as any worthy god would do) to sink your
eye into his own; fall deep into the flaming iris,
feel its molten waterfall replenishing despairing
.
vacancies of dwindling self: to take you past
incendiary agonies into unseemly bliss:
and pleasure's to be had in this grand gaze,
this kiss that's only deadly to the hope of ever
.
seeing sunrise anymore. A loss? The Doge
of Darkness tells you No: implores you to take
in the cinnamon red rapture of his dying sun,
so very much more beautiful than any one
.
of many dawns you'll never see again. The devil
is a chevalier of random causes, offering a panoply
of lethal choices: all of which exact a toll but none
of which much matter to the murdered soul.
