Sunday Snakes

Aug 9, 2026

· Collections, Poem, Scorched Strays

A cinematic, Raiders-inspired adventurer in a fedora and leather jacket stands inside a pristine Gothic cathedral overrun by black snakes. Snakes cover the marble floor, pews, pulpit, altar, columns, and chandeliers beneath stained-glass windows and a glowing cross. Tittu branding, tristanrobertlange.com, and the TRL emblem appear along the bottom. — Image: AI-generated using DALL-E and modified by the author; Poetry: written by Tristan Robert Lange, Human-authored.

Zeitgeist zealots
Agonize over anomalies
Outside religious sensibilities.

Faith’s funeral procession—
Unilaterally established by
Necrotic parts in need of
Emergency amputation—
Rages with razorblade screams
Against the Christian war machine.
Leviathan dresses in Sunday white.

Offend the offenders. Offend!
Forget not their vile villainy!

God will not forgive those
Othering the prophetic voice;
Damnation! Damnation devours.

POET’S NOTE:
An acrostic Scorched Sunday poem. Part of my Scorched Strays collection, Rock Band Edition. This poem draws inspiration from a band whose music has long wrestled with faith, disillusionment, and the corruption of Christianity, turning that influence toward the weaponization of religion against those deemed outside accepted religious boundaries.

Tristan Robert Lange's handwritten signature: Tittu

Tristan Robert Lange

Hi, I’m Tristan Robert Lange — a poet who writes at the crossroads of existentialism, emotional depth, societal critique, and the gothic. My work often journeys into the human psyche, weaving dark and atmospheric imagery with profound emotional insight. I draw inspiration from literary voices such as Edgar Allan Poe, Jim Morrison, Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, among others. Their influence fuels my pursuit of vivid imagery and unflinching exploration of the macabre, the mysterious, and the sacred-in-subtext. My poetry is both confessional and visionary, haunted and haloed, carrying the weight of suffering but always straining toward transcendence.
