Birthing The Ancestors
The pathetic sun Crawls out from its eastern shift Leaving magellan to die And dardanelles at last For the kept who sweat dreams They may swim or sail from soon Then reality shores- “ daylight” The cool pale night claws
Old men twenty years nearing death Oh, but the fish are biting today But you my son in your school heart will be happier You need only read the psalms of solomon to know we are Sadder than wise And our eyes are liable to all they are open to So’ tear your heart from the window Your teacher living talks to you now Our teachers are ghost, phantoms Heart is intent, soul is ego
Who must have known hard shoes are needed for a hard journey Our design is a continuous one For the children of our creation Who are so demanding of attention
“until i know why i’ve chosen this path, so rugged, Brutalizing my confidence, weakening muscles in the Pretence as if to strengthen my spirit. but why, i ask as i Scavenge, scorning pride, impoverished belittled in flesh, to Preserve thoughts with what mind is left. because the Children of my creation are so demanding of attention.”
