death walks among us
offering free drinks
we are a party
where the last guest to leave
is fallen down
and caught
the trees themselves fortell
our fated silences
extinctions as sudden as
a candle being lit
late to the taper
quick to the blade
we are merely guests
in the house

has ceased to provide
its mutilating function
Descartes has severed us
entirely
from the bravery
of being whole and ignorant
of refusing fire and making
love and war
in the same anti-time
we rejoice
at the challenge of destruction
and forget the ease of ruin
the engines of despair working us ceaselessly
well I am incapable
unwell I am capable of anything
except to add more paper to the bonfire
of Earth's dead shell
which we inhabit like a plague

mud at a wall
and then ignore it
balance a leaf on water
watch it grow ****

take a dump called a stick on a stick
that's my poem to the LA sewer system
noone can see it

in pieces
they tell me i must like someone now that they are dead
or react appropriately
to their appropriation of their name
the name of a corpse
is not dignity or repose
the eternal rest is merely
decomposition
composure and praise
are for those weak and faintly hearing
how bad
is not a reaction but an instinct
rest not
for merely death stalking
his blade reaping
is the sound of silencio
por favor
there is more work to be done
playing back into being
the fresh citrus
the nopal
street tamarinds
and hugs
well
they are good
see
but hardly ask me to reply
for i must rest

A look Un regard
I keep receiving Je recois

two in the 2 dans ma poitrine
chest

rapists violeurs

have invented ont invente

new ways de nouvelles facons

of being d'etne assassines
murdered

I hope they J'espere qu'ils ouvrent

open their leur

gun safes coffres d'amunition

or hang ou pende

dancing
a body electrically
creating
a mind destroying
the floor
we did once
form a circuit
with that eternal natural return of
ground to sky

would that capability
did not exceed the concept of a task
were that tasks did not multiplay
err, the capabilities of the deceiver
the greatest con
stipation
is wished on the least
