grand scale ablution

cracked hooves pound crowns
of mighty kings
yellow lace wedding dress, a phantom in a tree
deserted and broken homes
a kingdom of over achievers
bones with the names of lovers
carved desperately, crudely
music playing
music playing in the ghost of a memory
exhausted night sky and wilting stars
a constellation of decay
full color photographs and dull toothed smiles
a land divorced with the cosmos, with fate
the last man and woman on the earth, strangers...
make love and die in each others arms
him, 32
her, 56
The souls of used choo shoes floating
down
a yellow-brown haze river
and into Hades
where it's owner awaits

mass graves of congealed intestines......
human parts in compost heaps with melon rinds

rabbits nestle dens in silicon factories
opal eyes gaze
into
the future
and stand sentinel
in the gateways of the slaughtered hunters
married couples internally bound
in last vomit kisses
acidic and soul searching
a lone survivor left to roam
bare foot upon
glass strewn asphalt
looking into the bleeding heavens
for an
explanation
that will
never
be
offered.
god is not the answer?
lying on the yellow grass
for hours
that
may actually be days?
wearing nothing at all
serenaded by the
CRREeeekiNG
of rusty metals

becoming dust
and then matter
and then energy

she begins to see
clear waters of legend, peak from garbage bin rivers of humanity....slowly....slowly...

the body more natural than
waking up and going to work every morning....

eyes have become clouds
and see only the earth as it is.
sweat and dirt the most
natural
parfume

cows graze in grocery stores
and disco balls crack into tiny
pieces and dissolve into REAL light
lilies sprout from sidewalk
weed...
willows weep to reclaim their domain...
the sun peeks out of the clouds....
and the
world.
begins its long process of purification
human ablution.
