They resist sleep, they barter
with only chalk
         and soon after
re-appear as deer follow.
Intentional iris grows, eagles
whirl Spanish letters,
           javelins of
feathered jade.  
Thence creeps
        the English silence
between 1736 and A Preface.  
         Defy the book,
entertain your fellows.
        After De Landa’s fires
a yellow canine seeded
assertion, naked from the middle,
es cadaver, es polvo, es sombra, es nada.

Energize 320 simple tenderness’,
assume uncommon serenity  
in a library of dust named
sun is perfect or he of the north wind
loving the will of black monsoon,
                    o pluviaville

Tacitus admits croaker crowns taut history over unwritable forest.  
Near motel poetry chants land grabs, Selene overtops exuberant clay.  
Impudence arced Kentucky atheist,
                    alethia Schoenberg’s iron, Frick’s Pittsburgh.
Asbestos holiday rails at prairies’ lyrical pants.  
                                Judiciously insurrection arrives too late.  
Appled, quartered, windsor-knotted, waffen broken,
dasein eagle torn away, blood stews arpeggio, a fort children reach.  
Sea louse trawling deflects fluorspar.  
                                    Wipe out treasured.  
             Wipe away squiggles.  
Tamed Londinium troops to azaleas’ little meadow matinee.

Keening Iraqi rpg koranic crumbles heaven’s.  Enkidu kills the god, decapitates forest’s guardian.  Against girl-groping monk Sharvan said truth ******, choot ******, on the Matara Express headed toward Colombo. Egyptian acres scent ***** where Hanuman dropped moly mountain into naga kovil’s backyard.  Caramel tethers artery, never speaks in word-simple.  Father’s thrush to go plucked flensed singer, lashes silken, cuts drafted ghost-voiced achtungtexte in elongated black ink.  Affirming unchecked fluent grit refresh eagle standard, lost legion trollops ******* like Catullus.  Cantering
predicate broidered domine dismissal, does not prevent smatter, and boozed brought fools alongside.  Murderers cremating vulgate rob black willow mosque.  Dappled spent commands a beautiful that is no place.  Squirming myrmidons march honey trail to the western sea.  Disregard lack, loss, and overrule morose placental hayride.  Mint golden sluggish essays.   Snaring nearness generously urinate, anticipate licks of *****.

America, loud, clear, obvious, imperial perfidy all embracing, but local Quakers oppose, college kids’ resistance, pre-My Lai inundated.  Saturated, drowned in futility, onlookers
at the far edge of war, a genocidal spectacle. Vietnam, marker and  scourge, a wound before we knew much of art or thoughtfulness, puzzled, concussed, chewed up.  Bodies, cities burning fell out of tvs, in black and white, NBC, CBS, ABC.  First mass incineration of another culture for our generation, introverted, autistic, active, angry, furious; image-immiseration in the holocaust of b52's soaring over that Asia America punished.  Age of conscious impotence, advanced corruption post JFK Umrica satrapy, pentagon techno-ghouls, tiger cage consciousness.  By necessity taught to shrug it all off, the dominant savage imperial real roaring up to this very present.  And he, known from grade school, uber-masculinized, marine corps, ground troops, he many small but comprehensive slaughters witnessed.  Soft sad lonely boy came back ram rod sharp, abrupt, angry, fragged somehow somewhere.  After a few years at pulp mill, took shot gun, blew his life away.  Sad terribly lonely hunter boy who dreamed of trapping and fishing only, in a far
distant cabin off the Sheep Lake road to the mountain called Old Glory.

Offering an ibis well formed,  
turtle shell strong waves marked,
crested last light browned,
     orange gladiola skin his,
his tawny satin resistance
       a baroque tomb
in Shiva’s naked hand.
