Down The Steps

Dark spirit takes control
Demon sweat freezing cold
Possessed of the evil craft
Mother weeps Pazuzu laughs

Pushed or fell
He took a tumble
Down to the bottom
Of the hard stone steps

This crisis heightens fast
At the bottom of the steps
Where poor Burke’s body found
With his head turned all around

Pushed or fell

Obscenities beyond the scale
Accusing sick demented wail
Priests are called to lend a hand
To drive out the unclean by command

Pushed or fell
