corpse

inoffensive corpse
fire of sand infinitesimal city
explosion of daylight in the eyeless swimmer
through the earth's clay
you ceremony of memory
our human light burning humid human words
for a basket of subterranean abandonment
you journeyer...who sings and grows
the names of flowers in silence
our bones begin to speak for themselves without
rest
the body~tomb breaks open its rotten seed pod
surrounded by loneliness no longer
goodbye goodbye my love
of darkness and terror
goodbye my love of doubt
storms of nameless obligations
we are islands
heading out to sea
century by century
with our constant fervor
our red breath invincible weapons and
the victory of roses promised in the
the dry earth under a kiss of salt
stone apple black earth oilstorm
goodbye my love of love and the rarified air
above
