Mere means of being master of all labor, this power
Overthrows all virtue, and write the metered history
Nations spin web in web, and now it is the cocoon hour
Emerge the spider on spindly legs from calyx tragedy
Yelping bankers and their merchants billed for all wars
Consumers credit lost, money minting on us its scars
Ruined trust in men awake us to being pawns of greed
Economy after economy in goldless tatter and its shame
Dies, drizzle, toxic in resuurection the fawned at weed
Industrialist used to circumvent taboos in the blind game
Trapping with historic dream the energy of men stagnant still.
I come not to Zion yet but old Jerusalem in desert sand
Sighing at the prints, O garrulous the nail marked hand
Debt and deal transacted, the calyx shrivels in winkless sun
Orbituuary of Babel's history, Mammon's feathers unwaxed
Nature in sure cycles recovers, wind breaks the spider spun
Emancipated faith confronts the Ceasar, ransomed and taxed

There is quiet energy
In our writhing
for blind love
to be released.
A scarlet breathe kiss touches
Each moment that passes over
Her sad eyes,
Her goldless gold,
Her existenital pole climb.
The energy that sprouts from
Her legs is like a wounded wind
Over water...
(When we think of the pain
in someone else's feet,
When is it that we decide to leave that pain?)
I asked her where she lived.
She asked if I was a stalker.
