Turning Over the Living Rocks
Turning over the living rocks
And revealing dead days
Planting strenuous problematic static
Into the fissures of black light
Jubilating in the madness
Of a misunderstood reality
Dancing inside a vacuum
Void of a natural uncertainty
Intransigence is a death wish;
Simian complicity is dreamed of
By the destruction of self
