IN
THE BEGINNING WAS THE CAVITY:
EYESOCKET IN NO SKULL, WOUND IN NO FLESH,
THE
FACELESS MOUTH, THE COATLESS POCKET. THIS
GOT SUCH HORROR OF ITS OWN VACUITY
IT TRIED AT LENGTH TO SCREAM,
AS WHO
WOULD NOT?
THEN,
AFTER AEONS FIGHTING VOICELESSNESS,
IT SCREAMED A NEBULA OF HYDROGEN.
ODD
THAT THE JEWS SHOULD SO
HAVE MISCONSTRUED
THAT SCREAM A WORD, THAT CAVITY
A GOD.
THEN
LIFE APPEARED, A CANCER OF THE CLAY.
SOME MOLECULES CHANCE SHUFFLED
.....................................................INTO
SENSE
WHICH WRIGGLED OUT INTO THE LIGHT OF DAY.
A KNOT OF FIBRE TWITCHING
IN THE FIRMAMENT
WITH NO PROVISION FOR ITS GOVERNMENT.
MIND
IS A SKY-MACHINE
.............KEPT STABLE BY THE
BREEZE OF BREATH:
A RACKETY SLIPSHOD THING OF GUT AND NERVE,
PATCHED TUBE
AND TWISTED CABLE.
THE ENGINES OF THE HEART AND LUNG SUSTAIN
ITS WINGS ABOVE
THE BASEMENT OF A VOID.
BOXED IN ITS SKULL,
.....BRAIN
IS THE ANEROID BY WHICH WE GAUGE
A LEVEL THROUGH THE PRESSURE OF OUR PAIN
AND
STRUGGLE HARD FOR SOME
DEGREE OF STABLE EQUILIBRIUM.
CORRUPTION
IS THE ROMAN WHORE TO WHOM
HANGMEN AND POLITICIANS PLAY THE PIMP.
SHE SUCKS
ALL SEMEN BACK INTO HER WOMB
AND ISSUES FROM THE PASTURE OF HER THIGHS
BASTARDS
WHO MOMENTLY REPOPULATE
THE OCEANS, ROCKS AND SKIES.
THE COFFIN IS NO MORE
THAN
BAWDY HOUSE FOR THAT
...............................GRAND
ROMAN WHORE.
JUST
AS THE SUN
....IS ONE SPARK
........IN
A TREMENDOUS DARK SO
LOVE IS A POINT OF HEAT IN THAT COLD
....FELT
BY THE YOUNG AND
...................................VERY
OLD WHO KNOW
...................................ALL
FOOTPRINTS MUST BE
BLOTTED OUT BY SNOW AND
OUT OF LOVE WE SIT
....WITH HUNGER GNAWING
AT OUR WIT
.......AND EARS COCKED FOR
THE BARK
...........OF MOUTHING ANARCHY
CROUCHED
..................................BEASTWISE
IN THE DARK ALONE
ALONE COLD COLD COLD AND ALONE
....INSIDE
THE BLACK VAST
.......ETERNALLY REVOLVING,
...........REMORSELESS ENGINE OF THE WHOLE.
MOTHER,
LOST MOTHER,
...........WHERE HAVE YOU TAKEN ALL
MY HEAT
LEAVING ME ALONE,
AS COLD AS WATER, AS COLD AS STONE? I
DID NOT WEEP WHEN YOU DIED,
.......................................I
WAS WARM THEN.
WE LAY ON ONE BED,
ONE PILLOW UNDER OUR HEAD. MOTHER,
WHEN I WAS DRIVEN
.......................OUT
OF YOUR QUILTED WOMB
DID YOU MEAN ME TO GO WITH SO LITTLE HEAT
INTO THIS
IMPLACABLE MACHINE?
