Short Bowels Of The Earth Poems

Machu Picchu in Peru
ancient city
where Inca disappeared

were they taken by aliens?
if so why?
Did wildebeests devour them?

Was there a flood?
An avalanche?
No evidence remains

Or did they simply flee?
Fearing something bigger than them?
Something from the sky?

Something from the bowels of the earth?
Were they scooped into a portal?
We do not know....

A small irreverent demon
tunnels in and out of me.
Perhaps he is related to legendary gnomes
for he digs just for the pleasure
of moving amounts of me about
and he’s not particular.
Today he is mining 
in the bowels of my earth.
I feel his hot breath
delving, mining, heaving out
a steaming crapulence
that arrives as talk
a kind of speech,
a kind of spoken demonology,
harvested as poetry....

You missed a shit-storm
of dysfunction
geysered from the bowels of the earth
raining down
dark sticky obstacles

I soldier through
as I always do

In my dream you come for me
we sleep under the root
of a giant tree
where you live
clean
and free
of the stench
I retreat to that familiar
place in my  heart
where you throw pebbles
into my pond
and I’m
hypnotized
by the wavy reflection 
of the moon...

Cycle of life or death

Climb all the way to the top of the heavens.
True humanity where have you gone?
Fall back down to the bowels of the earth.
True humanity where do you hide?
Climb all the way to the top of the heavens.
True humanity why have you abandoned us?
Fall back down to the bowels of the earth.
True humanity what have we done to anger you?
Have you abandoned us for good, or will you rise like the phoenix.
Cycle of life or death
