Spring Burial

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Epoch Awareness. Writer, J.D. Hughes

I’ll suffer
no more kindness.

Give me not
one more Angel-

With eye’s that steal light
Like diamonds,

With bodies as taught
As a crucifix,

With wing’s as smooth
As ravens,

With shadow’s like blood
On the walls.

Give me a single
Woman-

And let virgins
Lay my tomb.

Someday you’ll forget
This poem.

Someday they’ll forgive
This Age.

I write. Do you read? I write. I write words: Carefully and consistently, and chaotically, from the deep pulsar unison of the still mind (or the violent undoing of the still mind); Sometimes I resemble Robert Zimmerman (my hair uncut, my mind uncut, all unregulated thoughts, wind haphazard along a pale american brow too). Sometimes, Sometimes words are fragments of paragraphs and you find them eschew in and from time, and with care, in the long ribbon fabric or one single unsealed cosmic spiral, and then they burn wild like black-holes ( birthing voids built the milky way); Still there are words so heavy and pure that they anchor fast the mind to the mere memory of their syllables in the quiet echoes, in and around, the deep violet sea of the questioning readers inner-mind.

It is mans only Deity (For what was with God, what was God? The Word was, In The Beginning). To chase the promise that reality and truth are not yet only relative devices, and leaving these scriptures: On brains, and on paper, and on papyrus, and old plaster, and on the backs of old Polaroids (once someone did at least), the thin skin on wet hands who ru
