RISING DOWN AND SERVING FIRE)

 

 

                          
                            ihear the trees, itouch your roots

                              Earth spinning out of control

                            heavens high rise, while hell lies low
                               Earth spinning out of control 

                            greenhouse gases, foraging masses
                               Earth spinning out of control  

                            raining toads birds show entrails 'inconclusive'
                               Earth spinning out of control

                            swollen four billion years mother nature knows
                               Earth spinning out of control

                            "bone gristle poppin' from continuous grindin'
                             grapes of wrath in a shapely glass"
                        
                            carat-color-clarity > clogged artery? momentum
                               Earth spinning out of control

                            scorpions in the head, helmet turban or cap
                               Earth spinning out of control

                            "know where you're going even when it's dark"
                               Earth spinning out of control

                            days rising down, while nights serve fire
                              Earth spinning out of control
                                                                            -W.W.  
             

                  

                            WAITING ON THE WAITRESS

                             Empty hands need fire
                             to play with, to burn by,
                             so as to smoke a new

                                 map of the world in her tired
                                 face now shadowing like a cloud
                                 the questions of your open hand.
                                   (from "Gift Of Screws" by Brian Chan)
