Unlike Other Boys: Poems by Alan Ireland.



    I Am Satan

    For Jezebel

    I am Satan,
    Lord of Hades,
    master of your twisted mind,

    keeper of the Register
    of incremental mischiefs.

    Come, my child,
    I have expected you,
    so long pursued my stratagem.

    Let us explore the Pit together –
    stealthily, with shrewd,
    premeditated step,

    for I would know
    the depths of you.

    Embrace the darkness.
    Pause beside the charnel house
    and savor each excruciation.

    Feel my rancid breath
    upon your neck,
    my icy semen

    creeping, creeping
    in your womb.
