Ode to Crack
the sun’s whistle
cuts through...
landslides in my brain
a cloud’s sleep-stained eye
winks and bleeds
its dewy discontent
as i cut the sky’s neck,
watch its head roll out into the starless beyond
and i prepare to disfigure its body
with
the island Earth’s fragile
broken
Hate.
green blood oozes from
my harmony heart
and black semen from my veins
this skin, this bone
this hopeful flesh
pest,
as the poisoned lips
of the hungry horizon –
time’s jagged memory –
plan to bite
and tear my dreams,
my integrity,
from my sacred halo hara
chopping, chomping
i am ground
good’n’evil blurred
into raw Disgust,
vile vile
naked thoughts
stripped of grammar-rule, vocab-sore
i am
just another flailing lump of human meat
making sounds, and seeing sights
lost in the Bad Bad world of...
Human Judgement.
I beat my head against time’s promise of love, of honesty
I scrape my soul against the crooked comb of the lice-man’s friend
against the tuning fork of Academia
against the rugged, rugged
push ‘n’ pull of Advertising
and Law-obedience
I sit, stony-faced, stony-minded, both face and mind being chipped away
by the strange expanse
that engulfs me, with color and noise,
and urges me to
suck it in, to be a part,
to interact and
make my presence kNOwn
I trust my brain no more,
I want to die from this place, this time
I want old meaningless meaning returned,
to slack me from the grip of tentacled nightmare ,
each vision, each being, a part, laughing
playing, me the pawn
me the pawn
where, who, what i am?, what is This
it is a moment, but it will go on
I don’t like this ride.
