Poems
Dec 2012
The Ages
He, naked by the gun
polished by antiquity.
Bronze in an age of reason,
overthrown by passion.
Live by the fruit of god, and
by god, I am risen.
Nazarene, Gabriel, Abaddon, a wing
Apollo, a foot, I float on air
and water-- watch me.
Me. To the thyself and thou art
I, I, I, beauty--
Rosepyre absence.
frozen
I sink in air, choke on air,
bloated by the birth of drought.
This is not a lake of fire. This is
your mother, standing
at the edge of Eden, milky thighs
tough skin and swollen.
Westward, says the philosopher,
the questioner, the one
who doubts god, but knows
he is god
And takes sanctity by the mouthful--
apples to apples, dust to bodies
Evolution without degradation, Genesis: Martyr:
drive another nail in.
