.star spangled hammers and heaven’s descending ladderS

See how precise these abstractions can be.

Like the moaning of koans, one finds in the sea,

that longs for the sun to transform it’s form

into a mighty tempest clutching the breeze.

Linking the Egyptian Nile to my backyard tree.

Life that mimicked nature

has now risen to mock, with stories of creation

and death.

Risen to rape, to consume

til’ there is just

one

naked ape left,

who will not be the first to discover

how his lost kin

confused clothes with skin

and

naked for sin.

He would cut out his left rib

protecting the chamber

where if we had one, the soul would reside.

For a chance to love again

and to reinvent sin

to instruct with the rod

in the name of a god.

And we will forget how we ever lived

with empty thrones

and star filled skies.

There is no place loftier,

than the surface of your skin, purgatory

lost

in a place between

macro and micro
