The flesh of dancing bones
distinguished by fire
finds a colorful cranny to die in
places organs that sing
on a counter-harmonic altar
and with a grin torn into the heart
falls down like a dead sex organ
into the infertile abyss.

Mountains cracked by steam
and reeking lava
fleeced of trees
and the flight of the living
invite the attachment
of Martian forests
amphibian eyes of cruel
elongated giants
grafted serpents
and the baby shit
of dying angels
wax teeth of encrusted books.

If one should turn with gentle eyes
to sweetly perceive the extent
of the homogenous terror
that one will be wasted away
not by a bomb or a crucifix
not by a series of guns
or a tightening noose
but by the limpness
of a sleeping herd.

To harden against it is to break
to surrender is to be suffocated
the way to ascension is blocked
by divine stupidity
this is the wrong world
and you are the wrong rebel
might as well eat tar in flake form
for breakfast cereal
might as well drink reptilian milk
for gasoline.
