this is the place where all the lives
are planted in my eyes. black things writhe
on the ground. red things gush from
volcanic gaseous tremblings/ become blood and light
mountains of flesh raging toward rapturous seas
where crowns of trees inspired by flame extol the night
my abysmal hear compels the moon compels
wave upon wave. compels reason
the tombs are fertile with sacred
rememberings. the ancient rhymes. the
disaster of couplings. the turbulent blaze of
greedβ s agonies. shadows reaching for time and time
unraveling and undone.
sky river motherβ your tongue plunders my mouth
