A pyramid of obsidian straw- an ode to Gene Simmons 'hair'


A pyramid of obsidian straw - an ode to Gene Simmons 'hair'

Gene! Gene! Burning bright

He's a Creature of the night

what immortal hand or hairdresser

could frame thy fearful symmetry of plumage?


A pyramid of obsidian straw

cascading as a waterfall of rigidity

control freakery in earthy form

aquanet rigor mortis


stoicism in extremis

it standing firm, failing none

whilst enemies crumble

Samson in reverse

What the hammer? What the clipper?

In what furnace was thy armour forged?

What the anvil? What dread hair net

Dare its deadly terrors met?

(Apologies to Blake)
