Beyond Permutation
I want to see again
Your two white breasts bare
And virginal
On the north and south lattitudes
Of your unmelted chest
I want them stiff and pointing upward
Like white mountains
Their milk fozen in the nipples where the sun
Laps like oceans with lazy tongues
I want my forest thick as dreams
Of ancient archetypes
Eating carbon dioxide gas for dinner
Etherizing this jiggolo of progress
That urinated on farmlands
Leaving them burnt in the acid
Vectors of hunger.
So much of our tragedy is beyond permutation,
Ecology is not a study it's life's preservation.
I want all this against the fear
Of ancient history
And none who warned us now is Noah
Building anything to avert
The rape of my mother again, and again,
My sisters sacrificed to dregs of earth.
