#1580 - somewhere on the planet right now


 

1580

5.119

28.iv.24

somewhere on the planet right now

 

as always

though you’d never know

 

the donkey cart, the heat

the blowfly thread

 

towers of gold

kings counting

call them

 

bombs reign down

from the camp of the righteous

 

shorn sheep, a sudden frost

day lengthening

the roof collects

 

anger justifies

 

kings are counting warheads, mines

 

a murder next door, was wife

each now forgotten

as always

 

guns and knives and fists

a fire

 

somewhere wishes make horses

the great horn shines

 

somewhere starvation

thirst

death

crushed in the dust

 

somewhere singing

the kings all stand

 

people worship of themselves

feel light

spurred on

 

there are wings

past treereach

 

the lie spreads

they are dreaming a sky

to justify

 

the courtroom fart

a king nods off

 

someone is taking things seriously

someone is too late

 

the hundred billion slaughtered to eat

fine fellows equally fleshed and feeling

no salute from them

 

the undersoil wormed

 

cloud just passed

 

we stand in our own sunshine

breathe the given air

 

leaf takes ant to its tip

 

far from harm

we tell the truth

 

on other worlds

none of this
