supercharged missiles
rich in weight

are powered up

cushioned on all sides
by sunless skies
which are now, in their

these scorned
rebel fliers, rockets of
long-deserted
flavored celestial flesh
cemented into ceilings
of stone, these instructions
guilded into our gentle
genes, fiercely controlled
and copiously copied
since the origin, of the
genesis, of the consciousness
of one G-d, painstakingly
packed away by fortune's sages
pairs well-preserved
like so many
hermetically sealed jars
of antique pomes, locked
in a central underground
sink of a most trampled
and forgotten earth, shared
throughout the further
development of mankind
faring from land to land
from man to man
they reveal a once
abounding attic
couched atop
a noble global house
not of this world
solemn confidences
at long last uncovered
by brown, well-tanned
good news archaeologists
are disclosed
for these once sun-struck
yea, sun-scorched
omni voyagers
who dig, unceasingly
in their seasons
in their ancient gardens
passing over, across, under
and through the bitter
unleavened
dry cracked grounds
of a now almost
wholly paved, conjoined
empyreal empire
being handed back
from israel's first fathers
letter by letter
like a family jewel
or closely guarded pride
passed from generation
to generation
they have tumbled
down a watchful
observant
streaming alphabet chain
opening new doors
even those
flying false flags
shoring her own
spanish secrets
it has all been dutifully
tucked away, never
to recede fully
and die, but skillfully
embedded, amongst the
soft velvet grasses
which blow
with the breezes
coarsely threaded, into
their shallow earth
by fibrous roots, and
mangled, amongst weeds
which creep
back through creation, into
the mind's veldts' seeds
of their plotted cup's
most remote colours
and can be found there
wound up
in curious puzzles
gifted rings which swear
a manufactured fidelity
of their most dearly
departed civility
yet still which bear
a gentle kind
of re-kindled hope
mercurial panacea
for these driven
truckers of instant truth
rough and rowdy
well-schooled
baby black beasts
just released, sit
slouched, in heavy chains
the youngest one
still wearing
her mothers' metal
badges of the rotten
shadows of sheets bloodied
by unborn memories
of sleet and rain
she will shrink
from the moonlight
rising, meeting the pain
of a krystal
cleared conscience
continually, they plow
through scattered
subterranean planes
of layered cosmic lands
in search of
some kind of mercy
deific validation, for their
constitutional conviction
of one nation
under G-d
a delivery, of some kind
of salvific wingd victory
conveying
their unified story
meticulously groomed
for this long-planned journey
dashing flight
back through rivers split
rich and red and bloody
as egypt's deadly nile
through once fallow
cloverleafs of soulless
virgin highway
awoke, again, for them
they are loaded
as they back into
a more perfect world
indelibly branded
into their rich-flowing blood
they are brothers
of the skies
pre-determined by design
to find
this ineffaceable fusion
through shared reminders
of their holy communion
traces of an inscribed
diamond destiny
maps of ancient astronomy
the printed inversion
of a twinkling
star-writ narrative
of the promised history
of the promised birth
of the promised prince
at the incipience
of the dawn
of holy yesteryear
hail, this breath of life
granting pathways out
honoring sanctioned
tribal rights
frankly fired, through
shock and awe
past cast inhabitants
of a silent
acquiescent first city moon
into the ether
of the unknown
like glass into the eye
but it will regrow
a new coat
as the banished serpent itself
crawling, out of eden
on its belly
forcefully it pierces
as it flies quickly
into waters of slippery flesh
a stinging, icy delivery
liquid sharp, as the flushing
unforgiving rays
of a sweltering sun
unable even to blink
as it slithers speedily
over scaled skins
as though it now, too
were crossing
a deserted river, divulging
a way into
the ocean's bedrock
of all time
dedicated to demolition

their foregone road maps

seeking release

banished and buried

exogenous shell, always
hoping, yearning
to find its way back
to her foreign shores
the way back...home
meanwhile, coming
to know
in bits and pieces
their paths
of sorrow, on a road
to wholeness
unbelievable salvation
still she cannot
bear
the wait
ocean's time travelers
setting out
on speechless quests
soliciting only the first
and fairest
purified bounties
of refined rectification
g-d-given beneficiaries
of their golden silver hearts
of foam and sea fire
more animal dances
wild baby blue
romances, obligatory
heavenly justice
it clearly is upon us
chasm of chaos
continues, demiurgic
cycles loyal
pyrrhic victories
becoming questionable
autumnal
ordered shatterings
of unimaginable
pains and sufferings
silent
through a series
of cut-up
makeup mirrors
down another
rocky road
delivered, from the
strapping whips
of yet another
400 years of slavery
time's wishes lifted
out from under the idle
wound, the patient
shroud rose over
a new bed for her
she is seeing things
now walking
through different doors
out of the dust
of man, straight
into more magic, pulling
rabbits out of hats
closed, reserved
reflections
on his sister, paradise, too
she'll pocket
her discovery
they are watching her
quite closely
torn and cast away
piecemeal
finally she flew
they cut her in two
southern belle weeps
for whoever falls
for her wicked wiles
angel always teasing
the perennial greening
of her cold man's
columbian imagination
they are trying
to break through
and take it
and they will
taming all particules
of collective past
she bore naomi a son
feeding hungry dreams
in oft
but fleeting flashes
of freedom
like the young princess
finding an infant, just
for her, caught
in the river's reeds
she drew
him out of the water
calling him thus
the baby moses
he will pass
her father's test
and be welcomed
with warm reception
a good son
for proud pharoah
raised as his own
educated to know
everything
there was to know
in the grand
palaces of gold
by his ministers
and advisors
all knowledge
of their modern world
moses is becoming...
the prized
prince of egypt
strong as heracles
and the once hirsute
samson himself
regifted his former glory
but still hung up
over delilah
the chosen are in a battle
to re-combine and uplift
the crumbled pillars
of former temple doors
in an unwritten
divine intervention
with nothing left
but a faint
flickering remnant
of the memory
of the fire
from its holy altar within
to keep their people
from crumbling, too
beneath the badlands
of a parched and empty
complicated existence
they are sticking together
unbreakable
never doomed to rot
in barren countries
that life and man
all but forgot
they are being rescued
by a mighty lone army
team of maverick
desert olympiads
racing atop sweltering
solitary sands, in short
bursts at lightning speed
before becoming burnt
offerings themselves
an impending glimpse
into the looming
holocaust's watery grave
sun-flooded
kaddish of recompense
for the mystery
and beauty
of man himself
as they once knew him
they will turn her, heel
serpent-wise
through the mystic
city guides, sharing
secrets
of the skies, cut-off
measures prophesied
for her bereft
kaleidoscope eyes
lost left-over temple
with the rarest
stained-glass windows
rainbow irises
for batty isis, a black cat
if ever there was one
just another ugly folly
of wasted emptied hours
studying a blackboard
of asylum, and refugees
gone with the wind
like two erasers' dusty
chalks, from the charred
ravaged reels
of crime and Bullsh*t
only to fall down
into the used vacant lots
of their drowned
sad n' blinded pupils
electric landlady
but for a brief
wrinkle in time
slips through a crack
eventually looking back
only to find drunk jesus
seeking solace
riding upon an ass
touching the hem
of his very own robe
lost jerusalem of gold
'twas a tale of vanishing
twins, deflections
from other mothers
culminations, of the
quick cleavings
of four forced, super-
naturally intertwined
helices of white smoke
strung up, then lifted
together, momentarily
into the heavens
coupled ascension
of blood brothers
shuffling...
...off unto eternity
they are now
wrapped up, with
no ordinary band-aids
gifted, from a black
ballot box, stuffed
and overflowing
from black bandages
harbingers of hope
an anthem of levity
for their battered
stretched, skull-cracked
ancient
and earthly soul
older than the oldest
bones, these laws
chiseled in stone
even as the world
still turns, and in time
a home, their place
to share, rooted
in worlds even older still
the moving cornerstone
of endless desire's pared
raked river banks
their place to recreate
mystic music
from far off lands
water carvings
out of sand
and silt
designs from great sheba
and solomon, too, draped
in rich flowing locks
to secure and transport
news of paris' prized
apple of discord
to their lovers
through dark skies
shipped over waters
for but the lowly
yet still mighty
common aphrodite
sinking into baby talk
calling it nothing
but a cake-walk
her soul melted
into pellets of poison
they recycled her
a condemned, cross-over
marathon river queen
already knowing
that she will be sowing
yet again, the seeds
of a most certain
curtained doom
plowed under, by a
never-ending
shapeshifting ox hunger
buried, to insure
the double
ghost-like indemnity
re-crossing
of her dangerous soul
it is already being done
there is nothing new
under the sun
but doesn't the sun
also rise?

she will shrink
from the moonlight
rising, meeting the pain
of a krystal
cleared conscience
continually, they plow
through scattered
subterranean planes
of layered cosmic lands
in search of
some kind of mercy
deific validation, for their
constitutional conviction
of one nation
under G-d
a delivery, of some kind
of salvific wingd victory
conveying
their unified story
meticulously groomed
for this long-planned journey
dashing flight
back through rivers split
rich and red and bloody
as egypt's deadly nile
through once fallow
cloverleafs of soulless
virgin highway
awoke, again, for them
they are loaded
as they back into
a more perfect world
indelibly branded
into their rich-flowing blood
they are brothers
of the skies
pre-determined by design
to find
this ineffaceable fusion
through shared reminders
of their holy communion
traces of an inscribed
diamond destiny
maps of ancient astronomy
the printed inversion
of a twinkling
star-writ narrative
of the promised history
of the promised birth
of the promised prince
at the incipience
of the dawn
of holy yesteryear
hail, this breath of life
granting pathways out
honoring sanctioned
tribal rights
frankly fired, through
shock and awe
past cast inhabitants
of a silent
acquiescent first city moon
into the ether
of the unknown
like glass into the eye
but it will regrow
a new coat
as the banished serpent itself
crawling, out of eden
on its belly
forcefully it pierces
as it flies quickly
into waters of slippery flesh
a stinging, icy delivery
liquid sharp, as the flushing
unforgiving rays
of a sweltering sun
unable even to blink
as it slithers speedily
over scaled skins
as though it now, too
were crossing
a deserted river, divulging
a way into
the ocean's bedrock
of all time
dedicated to demolition
they follow
their foregone road maps
warring to find
that which was denie

marked wanderers
on a star trek odyssey
seeking release
from their tainted wagon
of alien oppression
banished and buried
under a heated expanse
of contaminated
exogenous shell, always
hoping, yearning
to find its way back
to her foreign shores
the way back...home
meanwhile, coming
to know
in bits and pieces
their paths
of sorrow, on a road
to wholeness
unbelievable salvation
still she cannot
bear
the wait
ocean's time travelers
setting out
on speechless quests
soliciting only the first
and fairest
purified bounties
of refined rectification
g-d-given beneficiaries
of their golden silver hearts
of foam and sea fire
more animal dances
wild baby blue
romances, obligatory
heavenly justice
it clearly is upon us
chasm of chaos
continues, demiurgic
cycles loyal
pyrrhic victories
becoming questionable
autumnal
ordered shatterings
of unimaginable
pains and sufferings
silent
through a series
of cut-up
makeup mirrors
down another
rocky road
delivered, from the
strapping whips
of yet another
400 years of slavery
time's wishes lifted
out from under the idle
wound, the patient
shroud rose over
a new bed for her
she is seeing things
now walking
through different doors
out of the dust
of man, straight
into more magic, pulling
rabbits out of hats
closed, reserved
reflections
on his sister, paradise, too
she'll pocket
her discovery
they are watching her
quite closely
torn and cast away
piecemeal
finally she flew
they cut her in two
southern belle weeps
for whoever falls
for her wicked wiles
angel always teasing
the perennial greening
of her cold man's
columbian imagination
they are trying
to break through
and take it
and they will
taming all particules
of collective past
she bore naomi a son
feeding hungry dreams
in oft
but fleeting flashes
of freedom
like the young princess
finding an infant, just
for her, caught
in the river's reeds
she drew
him out of the water
calling him thus
the baby moses
he will pass
her father's test
and be welcomed
with warm reception
a good son
for proud pharoah
raised as his own
educated to know
everything
there was to know
in the grand
palaces of gold
by his ministers
and advisors
all knowledge
of their modern world
moses is becoming...
the prized
prince of egypt
strong as heracles
and the once hirsute
samson himself
regifted his former glory
but still hung up
over delilah
the chosen are in a battle
to re-combine and uplift
the crumbled pillars
of former temple doors
in an unwritten
divine intervention
with nothing left
but a faint
flickering remnant
of the memory
of the fire
from its holy altar within
to keep their people
from crumbling, too
beneath the badlands
of a parched and empty
complicated existence
they are sticking together
unbreakable
never doomed to rot
in barren countries
that life and man
all but forgot
they are being rescued
by a mighty lone army
team of maverick
desert olympiads
racing atop sweltering
solitary sands, in short
bursts at lightning speed
before becoming burnt
offerings themselves
an impending glimpse
into the looming
holocaust's watery grave
sun-flooded
kaddish of recompense
for the mystery
and beauty
of man himself
as they once knew him
they will turn her, heel
serpent-wise
through the mystic
city guides, sharing
secrets
of the skies, cut-off
measures prophesied
for her bereft
kaleidoscope eyes
lost left-over temple
with the rarest
stained-glass windows
rainbow irises
for batty isis, a black cat
if ever there was one
just another ugly folly
of wasted emptied hours
studying a blackboard
of asylum, and refugees
gone with the wind
like two erasers' dusty
chalks, from the charred
ravaged reels
of crime and Bullsh*t
only to fall down
into the used vacant lots
of their drowned
sad n' blinded pupils
electric landlady
but for a brief
wrinkle in time
slips through a crack
eventually looking back
only to find drunk jesus
seeking solace
riding upon an ass
touching the hem
of his very own robe
lost jerusalem of gold
'twas a tale of vanishing
twins, deflections
from other mothers
culminations, of the
quick cleavings
of four forced, super-
naturally intertwined
helices of white smoke
strung up, then lifted
together, momentarily
into the heavens
coupled ascension
of blood brothers
shuffling...
...off unto eternity
they are now
wrapped up, with
no ordinary band-aids
gifted, from a black
ballot box, stuffed
and overflowing
from black bandages
harbingers of hope
an anthem of levity
for their battered
stretched, skull-cracked
ancient
and earthly soul
older than the oldest
bones, these laws
chiseled in stone
even as the world
still turns, and in time
a home, their place
to share, rooted
in worlds even older still
the moving cornerstone
of endless desire's pared
raked river banks
their place to recreate
mystic music
from far off lands
water carvings
out of sand
and silt
designs from great sheba
and solomon, too, draped
in rich flowing locks
to secure and transport
news of paris' prized
apple of discord
to their lovers
through dark skies
shipped over waters
for but the lowly
yet still mighty
common aphrodite
sinking into baby talk
calling it nothing
but a cake-walk
her soul melted
into pellets of poison
they recycled her
a condemned, cross-over
marathon river queen
already knowing
that she will be sowing
yet again, the seeds
of a most certain
curtained doom
plowed under, by a
never-ending
shapeshifting ox hunger
buried, to insure
the double
ghost-like indemnity
re-crossing
of her dangerous soul
it is already being done
there is nothing new
under the sun
but doesn't the sun
also rise?
a mer-maid...
