7777777...and on and on

 
 
I would climb the
dizzying heights
of the seven  
summits
 
sledgehammer the
seven wonders
of the world into  
unrecognizable
rubble
 
drain the seven
seas dry and
watch the aquatic
world perish
 
laugh in the face
of  the seven  
deadly sins
 
rip the seven vails  
from the dancers
serpentine
body
 
end my seven year  
itch with a rusty,
uneven razor  
blade
 
play sevencard stud  
with a blind eunuch  
and cheat
 
burn the seven hills  
of Rome with Apollo's
fire for their centuries
of debauchery
 
I would keep a
thing for seven
years:
 
then scuttle it,
regardless of
it being gold,
hope, or love
 
I would do all of this
seven x seven x
seventy seven
 
to escape the seven
gates of hell
 
and the last seven
years spent with
you
