on them - waves

vacant calcified corpses

Low slung countenance
Mobile corpses mirror truth
all lies? bouquet of pains gain
creatures we house inside life
makes use of oblivion time....

corpses in a row
hung on meat hooks in the morgue
until Summer’s thaw

The First Apostle
The decay of corpses is my domain
Abandoned in the dread mountain region
Unrestrainable through fetter and chain
My bread mouldy but my spirit Legion...

Death's Tune
10-21-12

--------------------

Rotted corpses play
As dead trees disintegrate
Lost in their own fog
A song that I long to hear
Is lost in the obscure fear...

Colapsed Infinitian
Crumpled to the ground once again
Overcome by life's despair
Like corpses we lie here
All broken like dolls
Painfully tossed
Shamefully
Ended
Dead

The Truth In Battle
Now we stand on the precipice. 

They lie before us in their own blood and corpses

Yet while we stand victorious, 

None who were there shall forget the horror of that battle....

Corpses wash up on a distant shore
Crowded train station shelters
Psychological trauma
Personal needs of children
Go begging in the rain
The dream of freedom
Keeps hope alive
How many will survive?...

Foul Perfume
Hypocrisy 
is like a thin 
layer of scum
on the surface 
of an expensive 
perfume.


Its foul stench 
cancels out 
the celestial fragrance,
like that of corpses 
that your nightmares 
exhume....

One-Way Ticket
Phantom cities
Buried under chemical smell

Beasts digesting corpses
A Vomitus crush 
and a ticket to hell

Griefs and woes 
Nobody can spell

Souls out of shell
time to ring the bell 
A heartbreaking story to tell...

There Were Many Shipwrecks Here.
On a robust breeze, the sunset flares
through the ripe peach filtered clouds.

As they extend garish golden glaze
past bleached sands, salted corpses.

Cold crying of sailors washed clean
slipping off the clambering crabs....

Mayday tomorrow, 
but the pole has been toppled,
the good earth churned by munitions,
and then seeded with Claymore mines.

There will be no dancing on rubble ruins,
as we bury desecrated corpses, 
this year’s harvest will be lean....

The Murder Diaries Iii
Raspy, sexified tones began tightening
Like nooses around my throat
A trail of corpses appeared nonexistent
To millions of natural eyes
Catastrophically I was yet another victim
In the pages of murder that she had composed
She must be found…...

When the Earth Was Not Round
Volcanoes dignified this land
barren and deserted
Bound to be an abaddon 
scared and agitated

Fed on flesh and corpses
hungry and underfed
Needed more to devour
lustful and crazed

But this lust for blood never ended
when the earth we lived wasn't round...

In Revalations Bosom
In the bosom of the earth I wept,
Wept like a child of genocide.
And unto its rising back I was laid bare,
Bare like a million corpses…………
Lust and un-fruitful    explosions blackened her lips,
With death, lips that where once potent with pure life....

beak
of the plague mask
    lest I smell
your rotting bodies
    strewn
I smell your crosses
  daub your doors
I smell your corpses
  pile your carts
I smell your fires
  flame your dead
I smell you earth
  and weep for you

The Stars Die
Fifty-thousand stars died last night.
Painting a beautiful picture,
(with an absurd haunting allure)
on an abandoned sandy site.

Swept up in a sharp, vicious storm,
celestial corpses to be found,
their lives absorbed into the ground.
Genocide given an art form....

We watch from afar. We wring our hands
seeing the treachery of our governments
who do nothing, as if it is 1941 again.

Before the Kaiser Came
Before the Kaiser came
Swallows fed on the wing
Above green meadows
Butterflies danced on the breeze
And birdsong filled the copses

Then the Kaiser came
And no longer did birds sing
Mud filled the meadows
Gunfire echoed on the breeze
And rats fed on the corpses...

Fouled Perfume
.

Hypocrisy 
      is a thin layer
            of stinking scum
            on the surface 
      of an expensive 
perfume.

  

Fragrance 
      shall soon be 
            subdued by stench 
            of corpses that
      your nightmares 
exhume!

From River to the Sea, Part Three
Palestinians.  The river that you have under your tongue,
will never dry up, no amount of white phosphorus and mega bombs will do the job.
They keep hurting you, don't seek revenge, just sit by the river and soon
you'll see the corpses of their extermination dreams float by.
