to the baby, and its babies:
your birth,
and the woman waiting for you;
they are waiting.
everyone, is waiting.
time, is waiting.
the sea, is waiting.
elephants, are waiting.
the cukes in the vat are waiting to be pickled..
the pickles are waiting to be traded for cash.
to become their own weight in gold.
and the money, is waiting to be buried back into the earth, as the earth sits in its own sort of waiting,
knowing, that
even the end is waiting.
while nothing also waits for anything else besides the end.

i am three armadillos.
one that tucks and hides,
rolls away if it has to.
one, who fights and stands, rears on its haunches, exposing its softness, ready to live and to do the opposite of living.
and one who knows, it is just a fiction,
in some song or meditation or some story, who has the upper hand on its brothers,
who seem to think that they are whatever the opposite of fiction might seem to be.

The Woman-
Make naked

- is naked inside
I.
-peel the skin from my eyes.

You can put me
in the ground.
You can surely do that.
If you have hands,
sure
and a knife, yes.
a gun, of course.
or,
i don't know..
run me down
with your car
toss me in
a vat of acid
or maybe
train your
Lioness
to maul me
and
to eat me.
you could get inventive with it.
inventiveness is good
i'd adore you for that.
or,
well..
i'd say,
make it
an old fashioned
kind of affair.
swing a shovel
well into my head
and bury me
where i lie.
you'll want a shovel.
yes you will.
your hands,
they're ***** enough already,
i'd say.
and,
it's an awful lot of work-
those graves.
can't make em too shallow.
you don't want to hang.
cuz they'll find you.
and they'll hang you.
they can't dig enough graves
when they forge for themselves
the RIGHT to do so.
...above ground cemetery...
They make Junkyards
out of neighbors.
strangers..
-anyone..
..anyone they can CATCH!
that they can get
enough sets of HANDS on
to hold down.
To judge.
With the collective mind
of the many-headed-beast.
and you're one of the moving pieces
in that swarm of hate..
..that frenzy of Blood-thirst.
that Madness of Zombies...
You are a vital *****
I've seen how you Pulse,
like the red in your eyes..
and,
so,
my friend.
my enemy.
I tell you this:
You can bury me,
i'll allow it.
I might flinch.
I might scream.
The body is involuntary.
It's a shaky contraption.
And you can bury it,
however you want,
but you can not **** me..
THAT....you can not do.
No matter how much you might hunger for it.
No matter
what DEVIL
your name may be.
You can not **** the Heart
which beats outside of this body.
You can not **** the Heart
which beats beyond this world.

You hanged yourself from a palm
on a desert island.
Starved for weeks.
Catching flies in the cave that hung open in your mouth.
Swaying on the wind until it was worn too thin and died.
And you see a series of the most beautiful sunrises.
Which you paint in my sleep every night after you've crept through my skull and come visit me.
Telling me all that you know of the habits of flies
While the new ones
Those kids
Dance around my breathing nose
To settle and sleep on my gums.-
All waiting to hatch to get a glimpse of that sunrise
Of which their parents dreamt.
A timeless chant
The only thing that god can be called
And the skin fell off of the shell of their light to make naked a thing that can not be named.
Cracking and peeling back their eyes to make way for the divine to come pouring out
Drowning a bloated belly thirst
Light explodes from every inch of the body-
It is the building of Ash,
The ripening of the past.
Until all that is left is he lthe two pupils falling
Like flies giving up on their lives
Into a pool of pure psychedelia
Dropping as a pearl tastes in the ignorant mouth of a thousand wanting oysters swallowing down the ****** of said god.
Who chokes on its own divine light
That it can finally die
Away from the madness of its mind
-overandover
andoveragain.
And our island
Is a venus fly trap
Devouring its neighboring flowers
Until there's no distinction between
The sweetness of rotting
And the living which is a thing we call ours.

It's the way we cut off our heads
in trying to lose it,
throwing it in the river,
but are so consumed with curiosity
with what we will become that
we find ourselves still stuck
at the rivers edge,
trying with all our might,
to watch where it goes.

My mind keeps trying
to find my soul.
But when its distracted
and forgets to look
it finds it while absently watching the trees barely uncaringly grow
so slow.
