forcing us to rent space in the back of the bus
burying new skins in old soil of a naked nation
rent in two by reluctantly rising emancipation
Mileage in the shotgun
Revolving a cause to Become.
As old as a whore
as American as Ford's
Given all we could piece,
Nature, she wants more
Releasing the hounds
Civility in bonds,
on the run
raging, making less with itselfthan we could live without
For we have been in need
of all sons living freed
- prized in sheols we dug too deep
Knowing nothing but the hope
it won't be this time
Immersion in mercy
bathed in rouge liquid life

ReplyDeletei thought it was a pharmaceutical princess warrior, but it's sole purpose is just to show how old i am.
which i don't mind,
"Iiiiiiiiiiii'm 30! Thir-ty years old!"
"Revolving a cause to Become.
ReplyDeleteAs old as a whore

Revolving, I automatically read as revolting, I think you did that on purpose! hee hee...no but I like this stanza. It sticks out for some reason.
"Nature, she wants more.." What could nature possibly want from us? What MORE even? That made me think...the only thing we've given to nature is destruction..is this an ironic twist on how we interpret the usefulness of our 'inventions and innovations' on/to nature? I need to consult Marx on this one. Engels even.
you need not trust those butchers of philosophy.
ReplyDeletelook at the context of it. check out the title. seek key words. nature and whore are subjects but not the focus. the only other clue i'll give is that the poem is historically rooted.
and our relationship with nature was pure and good. but we were on the destructive path from Gen 3 on (the original job vs. the cursed job of man). certainly the last few centuries, with the advent of the industrial age, pitted us against nature on all fours.
ReplyDeleteso, that may have something to do with it.
and as much as i like alisa and ny2la (who just put in a pic, but still no post), thanks for actually commenting on the work, lovely.
