Summanus

Summanus (Latin: Summānus) was the god of nocturnal thunder in ancient Roman religion, as counterposed to Jupiter, the god of diurnal (daylight) thunder. His precise nature was unclear even to Ovid. Pliny thought that he was of Etruscan origin, and one of the nine gods of thunder. Varro lists Summanus among gods to whom Sabine king Titus Tatius dedicated altars (arae) in consequence of a votum. Paulus Diaconus considers him a god of lightning. The name Summanus is thought to be from Summus Manium "the greatest of the Manes", or sub-, "under" + manus, "hand".

Judgment Day
A sinner's wage
Working for the Lord's impatient saints
A Job on the road to Perdition
Driven mad
Misfortune, bold
Savors the taste
The flavor and the bite
Of raw blackbird, cold and bitter
Served on a platter plated in glittering gold

Repentance is a luxury
Reserved for richer blood
Redemption is a purse afforded few
Sqave for the fattest coffers
Lest vulgar hearts and tongues
Dare to defy and deny a proven liar's truth

Shadows
Alone, bestow a flicker of wisdom
A dim light, snuffed
Shed like love
Darkening the dusk with troubled visions

Revoked
Atonement in the throes of stoicism
An image, unmade
Faded and gray
Like a face in disarray in a display of schisms

Forgiveness, forbidden
Deliverance, dismissed
Remembrance, rescinded
Confess and be condemned
Witch trials, exiled
Forthwith, forsake, forgo, forget

A villain's journey, tragic, flawed
A Pyrrhic history
To endless repetition, doomed
Sisyphus incarnate
The Lord of Babalon
Sodom-born, the heir abhorrent
To Gomorrah, throned like a morning star

Heroes
Unknown, unsung, and utterly useless
Idle warships
Albatross-anchored
Cannon fodder for the crude and mutinous

Disowned
Disavowed, disposed in a hazardous manner
Abandoned by hope
Twisted by fate
Resented by those with delusions of slander

Narcissus Invictus
Unholier than thou
The strangest of fictions
The vermin on the mount
A creature, beleaguered
Forthwith, forget, forgo, and doubt

Like Thomas, when haunted
By thoughtless ghosts, discarded
Unconscious responses
Disheartened, disregarded
Cathartic, departed
Behold a prophet of the godless

Behold, Summanus
The prophet of the godless
Behold, Summanus
The prophet of the godless
Behold, Summanus
The prophet of the godless
Behold, Summanus
The prophet of the godless
