of the few that might quote,
or least, the ones that might be quoted:
a reference of uno nacht -
there abiding, equal to Poseidon,
a courteous signification of what zodiac
there is, among oyster clams and seashells,
there i stood and upon no words divine
felt to continuum necessity to riddle
man with Dante, but merely with, ape.
there i stood:
tumbleweed at hand and two flits,
and there the cavern deity of human weakness,
as pleb unto pleb... the jealous hands weaving
a Bulgarian acronym to what was once Greek
that became Cyrillic....
floundering under the guise of promise...
noose abiding Hindenberg...
never will you agitate the pleb...
leave them like the priestly caste:
begrudging the slack on redneck culturalism -
then woe...
and of woe much is said that isn't done..
but then appropriated with the times,
a love affair chimes the culprit's chalice
as with all jades of resurrection,
three hyenas, and so too three Medusas,
and so top three sybils...
in orchestra said as much
that only a man could have said them,
had he clothed himself in being one:
- thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd...
leisure be! no claim of self-defence!
but a claim instilled nonetheless -
as anything concerning self-reliance!
woe to the wordings of man...
that she claim no crown above the peacock's
or the pigeon's coo, or the lion's roar,
or the nano-sound of an ant's architecture construct...
or the crow's croaking segment,
or the cackle of a magpie's segmentation...
o woe man.. for you are but nought disguised
and at times disguising such splendour...
that you make so little focus,
and yet so much abhorrence...
that you may be crowned rex -
but neither tyrannical nor tetra-sourced governing,
should a wind turn into tornado,
or the earth into an earthquake...
the water into a tsunami...
or a fire a wildfire spontaneity -
or the Zeusian bolt into insomnia and techno...
cure all, and cure none at all..
skylark Macbeth... at least you were not forsaken
to rest in a psychoanalytic deathbed with continual
resurrection to answer prayers,
as might the necromancer of Endor embodied by
Freud... resurrect you to the suitor Hamlet...
and how fortunate you are... for fortunate you are
mein herr...
or so act iv continues...
- thrice and once the hedge-pig whin'd (whined).
- harpier cries: 't is time, 't is time!
- round about the cauldron go;
in the poison'd entrails throw -
toad, that under cold stone
days and nights have thirty-one
swelter'd venom, sleeping got,
boil thou first i' the charmed ***,
- double, double, toil and trouble:
fire, burn; and, cauldron, bubble.
- fillet of a fenny snake,
in the cauldron boil and bake;
eye of newt, and toe of frog,
wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
lizard's leg, and howlet's wing...
and naught to recite the ancient Graeae
conferring...
or what one called the splinter
eye, or what was shared among the three...
then repeat, the common incantation,
and say: woe the moorish lad enthroned...
i have my prickly finger pointing toward
the heath... and thistle kissed, and the tartan
as harmonious dressing toward
a ******* of 70 years by all accounts
considered: a happy marriage.
oh no, don't teach me what i might
abhor... teach me music with your words!
don't make words an act of polity and
of what goes around and never comes back
in terms of romancing truancy -
teach me logic, a logic that's hill-bred
and goat-tango for a heart's hefty sum of
lost thought! teach me this! preach me this!
i have a second home, of what is nought
but the harrowing abyss: where i hear no Slavic
and i hear no Anglican, where i hear no Farsi
and i hear no Sanskrit... but the aim
of resurrecting a lingo of near dodo Celtic.
no ethnicity is nation bound.
then unto the Graeae once again
- scale of dragon, tooth of wolf;
witches' mummy; maw, and gulf,
or the ravin'd salt-sea shark;
root of hemlock, digg'd i' the dark;
liver of a blaspheming Jew;
gall of goat, and slips op yew,
silver'd in the moon's eclipse;
nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips -
and perhaps after such things were and had been said,
i might too engage in a blasphemous benediction,
cross-my-heart-and-sever-three-fingers
and out comes the Byzantine conscription -
rhyme a lot and rhyme what's willed -
rhyme a dot and rhyme: standstill.
take to road and take to breath -
take to sleep and take to craving earth -
for no acrobats in the tomb -
the Hindu acrobats remembering flame -
in dust spoke of a whirlwind incantation -
and said: memorise me by allowing the billionth
man my own location...
or as the Mandarin maxim suggested...
eat a dog, eat a cow, eat a horse, eat anything,
and relegate all importance solely to plough...
aye Hibernian and you Lothian kin -
tell them fables of the lost Loch Fin -
tell them things that will keep them grounded,
and not spread their arrogance
to clap toward a tourism...
well... one can only wish to revisit
the plagiarism of the Graeae... had but one
the pursuit of what was original, and what coupled us
to sin, in making us un-justify a god,
and justify our perpetuated ordeal.
