Swimming To Fly



Swimming To Fly
Swimming birds pierce like thread and the needles, –
Stitching words call to bear and reach;
Easy ways to attract all dung beetles
Now are open for soles to enrich.

Corrugated the surface corrupted
Is against a delirious wall,
Slaughter’s coming from those who’re captives
Who are burning to answer the call.

But the skies are already for Heaven
In a fightElementals to rise –
All proprietors! That’s what you’re having
To make souls and hearts circumcise!

From abysses go down to fire,
Struck there mint, upper-lower die:
Mix the races and await Pure Liar
That will force all the fishes to fly!..
