IMAGES
Death the doer
elixir
transparent blue
stunning woman
nude in veils
uncoiling in the wind
she slow-sways
new science
written in bone powder
our fathers
pointing in many directions
at once
we plead
someone answers
not wanting it to end
meaningless
we murder
everything moving
hoping
love
wears a white dress
giving
the boot
to death
the pretty little lie.
NIGHT PASSAGE
Night passage
away from the sleeping city.
Quick now
before it awakes grumbling,
wanting flesh and brains
ashed into its cement and steel,
never telling of its cauterized heart,
glass blood and asphalt skin...
Running our cars with lights off,
long convoy into the country.
Hoping sunrise comes without sirens,
a new land out of an old land,
growing natural gardens,
drinking buckets of stream water,
making babies under the moon.
