*by Kyle DeValk*

I cannot force you to listen I can only cryout  
 I can only show you the IMAGES OF WORDS,

  
typing an anccient skeleton manifesto—  
 of GRAVEYARD POETS tied to barstools  
 tied to the breath of poetry  
 tired to lonely tenderness,

  
chanting and howling mantras under the darkness—  
 of moon soaked amphetamine nights,

  
dancing with sunflowers pounding at the alter—  
 of wet mud skyscrapers,

  
I watched death in war,  
I watched industry eating nature,

  
I watched the manic Pacific kiss the sun drenched  
 beach,

  
I watched the tragic suicides of endless rivers,

  
I watched the orgasm of wild flowers  
 the sweet relase of nature the perennial—  
 intoxication of oak trees rooted and groaning  
 in oceans of concrete,

  
I watched the naked limbs of nature expose—  
 themselves to the vastness of eternity,

  
I watched ghosts blossom in the collective  
 consciousness of stars,

  
I watched constellations swallow galaxies,

  
I watched the sun sink into the reflection of—  
 Earths gentle urban eyes,

  
I watched the nuclear fog rise over the vastness  
 of intolerant mountain peaks,

  
I watched flies feast on the intestines of  
 the universes golden heart,

  
I watched the snow devour the flesh of—  
 the cement spine of the midwest,

  
I watched the stomach of the rootbelly boil  
 in the empty pockets of desolate sand dune  
 covered deserts,

  
I watched the seasons die everything come to an  
 buried in unmarked cycles of desperate doomed  
decay and alluring unholy GODLIKE tourture—  
 so tolerant of its own failure  
 so tolerant of its own brilliant suffering
