Genesis
I don’t want to sit
on a patch of fear,
tangled in occupation
while fighting with the locks.
The theater of tumblers.
I am here, not there
making dents in air
on alarmed street.
Time was out and time was in
against the jolted clocks.
I have stopped to get
an imprint of amputations.
You will not get ruby
you will not get gold.
Dust will go in dust
after the fall of royal debris.
