I hear steps. My plants
bloom green, small leaves
rustle in anticipation.
My blood pumps through my
eyes contract.
I hear steps by the door,
scratches,
and an plainly dressed old lady
buying fruit.
Cup standing still in the air
splashing liquid, and a smashing cracking blow
muddy water burning like the teeth of it
on my foot.
It has come to rule my dreams
again.
Then I wake to buy
milk and a razor and some bread
and light a cigarette on the
way back through
early summer days.
The sun is shining on
orgasmic faces of children.
I think:
Corrupted minds,
The pigeons, only fly so high
as to behold the skies
and the the tapping of waves
on the dike.
Lo, This baltic church above us.
I roll Spice in ein langes, braunes Blatt
smoke spice from a plastic bag.
Is it waiting in my room,
two horned and grand?
Then suddenly descend
through wooden stairwells
of a European age,
Lillies, Lillies, schling ihr euch wie Schlangen ineinander?
Die Decke zischt, sie flüstert
Troja, Mauern, fire.
I, like her, proclaim from mountain tops
but stuttering,
of vivid joints, of horses, swelling floods,
walk
through straydog old-town streets
lined-up merchant homes, neat and clean,
pulled on a string
to dress, adorn,
mothers, stringent, wrinkled neck,
her hanseatic neck, unbroken,
yet.
But
“Young Man! Things are rising! from the sea,
with heads of steal and lightening bright like manic eyes
her perfect, brutal, beauteous eyes
her werewolf eyes,
and dress of glass.
A breath of cars,
a tempest, flood.
You must now feel her wooing teeth
oft named oblivion,
the nightly dancer,
dancing close your breathing vein,
her soft lip’s palm.
Arms will throw things out of proportion
Do you not see the clouds are drunken, red?”
Those old ways are crumbling.
Ornaments are falling, faster. Soft young flowers, that spree from fertile soil break through.The sun is rising, in the east!
Do you hear the sweet sound of justice, in lullabies woven into the scent of night?
It must shakes before
the stars incredible height!
sensation of our bodies falling, a revelation that the centre cannot hold
arms of the galaxy must break out
of circular motion
must dissolve,
eventually, must
hear me now: the world is fire:
and fire is the world.
Or:
love is the world,
and death or wheels
it is
or whatever is the world
and entropy and energy
is the world in fact
death is the world and Lethe, the coked up girl,
, is the world
