Carrion Carry the Message
Carrion carry the message
In flights of dry yellow sun
And wind sprays
The Ocean of T.V. screens
Faces the digital throng
Of robots commuting
Satellites drift in orbit
Each dead white star ringing black
-ness. Space. Silent
....
Symphonies roar metal
Steel the diamonds glass
Dog-whistles taste of chalk
Outlines of concrete
Murder and the prayer
Of a flag drenched in gray
Rain on the worn Gravestone. Washing
....
Acid and melting faces
Of anthems waxing leaders
Marching bones grinning
Hookers in alleys crying
The Buddha under his tree. Smiling
....
