Bright Mexican dawn: pastel
bloodbath
feather cordial
dead engines drill
plateaus, october
on king
sings in the valley
of wombs
priceless views
of rebirth
crowd imperial skulls
w/ knowledge
I once wrote ’bout myth
& how it’s pronounced
in these
cruel realms
cruel, in a child’s way, wild
in a death’s way
where nothing returns
unchanged; where prices
are paid thrice, & the clouds
uncover snake queens
worn behind pale windows
of rain; guitars
play on, the drum
from behind the mountain
shakes the cynic’s tree
& whiteman’s fact falls off
rotten, bitter & deadly – the venomous
taste of failure
you’ve lived in for thousands
of years
here schools didn’t exist
church didn’t exist
one law of love
was the only holy way
& other ways were wings
of a serpent – ugly souls
were devoured, sky immortal
saved
but no-one sacrificed
on structures madmen call altars
in fact, lost cities are stations
of space communication
soul exploration
where mountains were flattened
& platforms erected
for brave
in eternity basking
sun solitary tramps
landing on gears
of blood
