Why should a poem exist in this world?<\/span><\/p>\n

Because our great energies are divided<\/span><\/p>\n

Because there is a room,<\/span><\/p>\n

and flasks on a dusty shelf<\/span><\/p>\n

one for your heart, one for your mind, one for your soul, your psyche, and your imagination<\/span><\/p>\n

Put them <\/span><\/p>\n

into the flasks<\/span><\/p>\n

and then<\/span><\/p>\n

you will see<\/span><\/p>\n

what everyone sees<\/span><\/p>\n

and then there will be men out on the sand fighting and killing for banks, drugs, oil, and fire<\/span><\/p>\n

men who remember their childhoods the lawns the streets the garbage cans the alleys the sirens the dark empty buildings whispering messages in the middle of the night <\/span><\/p>\n

the cemeteries the graves the markers the schools the factories<\/span><\/p>\n

men out on the sand fighting and killing for the great Reality that drifts like paper into a roaring furnace<\/span><\/p>\n

gray faces hovering over burnt sacrifices<\/span><\/p>\n

a banker on a stage<\/span><\/p>\n

rubbing his gloves<\/span><\/p>\n

and pulling money out of his satin mouth<\/span><\/p>\n

the princes of television<\/span><\/p>\n

releasing their drone packages<\/span><\/p>\n

and a third party calls to us across a vine-threaded wall<\/span><\/p>\n

an unpredicted outsider<\/span><\/p>\n

who’s known the sacrifice was torture<\/span><\/p>\n

since the beginning when the river was turned away from the forests and spun into great rotting pools <\/span><\/p>\n

of gangrenous empire<\/span><\/p>\n

the outsider is divided and separated in the room of sacrifice<\/span><\/p>\n

poems, blood filament by growing filament, fill in and connect the spaces<\/span><\/p>\n

and the sun and moon shine on the blood and make it whole<\/span><\/p>\n

the poem explodes in the self-separated human who is quite convinced he has nothing to do with a poem, has nothing to do with the soul that is dying inside him<\/span><\/p>\n

I write poems<\/span><\/p>\n

people tell me I’m crazy to do it<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m committing a form of suicide<\/span><\/p>\n

but I’ll tell you this<\/span><\/p>\n

it isn’t a sacrifice<\/span><\/p>\n
