the spade outside
with the tight
bandana/ for a headband
looks like a Jap mjr.
in an old war film.
educated in America (the film)
Harvard
wouldn't carry on Detroit streets.
the young raccoon comes each night
to forage among the garbage cans.
he’ll get fat
if I keep leaving the lid off.

THE FOREIGNERS
"Americans
who are foreign
to silence
and thought."
GARY SNYDER
a book on Atlantis
turned out to be
undocumented theory.
everytime I walk
on Detroit streets,
the whole sunken continent
verified.
"ya can’t dance
if ya can’t hear
the mus-
ic."
be-
neath sea-level
crushed, the foundation/s
crushed,
fallen down.
lying some
where.
in visible
in silence
not visible to silence,
foreign to it.
he came home
and went to bed.
didn't hear what was said
to him, from anyone.
his house fell down
then the continent sank.
and he still slept
and he’ll never get up
and he’s already slept too long
already 6:00
and no wife to wake him
for dinner.
-- Jerry Younkins
“TEX”
the male whore of Texas
sows his napalm sperm
across Earth.
the fire children dance over not
the yellow children. the fire children
I do not, and will not I fear
condone but
his helicopter anus. they grow
up.
sips sperm of death orgams from gun barrels
I see Asia, ball and chain
hi ho, Tex- let’s ball again!
you filthy cocksucker.
bodies, Tex!
ya gonna bury those bodies
or just let them lie there?

the space war cock- his lips
draw it fiery, and gargantuan
across Earth.

Tex-
you necromancer,
slippery war cock
slides up black bile-
disease- mouth slaver-
poison anus. "war, war, war."
his passion grunts swell
the mausoleum
up his ass goes the war abortionist' s
cock
Tex on bis stomach.
“we can contain this one, Tex."
the mattress quivers- dead women's
breasts red urinal jello.
THE DUEL
fantasy sword blades
how many have cracked
on the dented, gouged, armour of
out there.
the real world
of hate & fear
losing the taste of love in the bitter mists
of stares, hostile faces.
(boundaries & repressions).

the new consciousness McClure speaks of.
man law cannot hold back
the rays
of light.
"Baby, there aren't any laws in the universe
that you can break
but you make it hard."
For The Vietnamese Dead
God-Hand
the fingers of Ahu
lay waste to hunger.
dark laborers bear up
THE HEART-
dark laborers bring peace to
the body-
in death shall there be
no thirst
no hunger
the sadness of the heart
gone.
"O, RA
do good to him
this day
more than yesterday."

union-
the goddess MUIT,
& the scent of ISIS.
let the thighs of Egyptian goddesses
wrap around your land.
let the eye of HORUS, son of OSIRIS
be yours-
that it might look upon yellow men
& white men.

PRAYER TO RA & THOTH.
"MAKE HIM TO FEW WITH YOU
LET YOUR FOOD BE HIS
LET YOUR DRINK BE HIS
MAKE HIM STRONG IN YOUR STRENGTH
LET HIM SAIL IN YOUR SEXTET BOAT"
For The Vietnamese Dead/2
net caster-
the birds of the reedy marshes
of Aaru.
given the pool of water
in the Field of Offerings
(Seket-hetep)
yr. water the wine of RA.
you shall circle heaven, as does RA
the sun-
travel the sky as does THOTH the moon-
conceived in night, brought forth in it.
All of Amanti
becomes yr. oneness
in death.
you who eat and drink with Osiris.

silent LSD meditations
beside tho Detroit River
looking inward outward
consciousness streams out-
ward.
rising, the golden angel
peace- his gold dilated pupils
shine light
down
upon
me.
towering drug angel of light.
a union of tongues,
his forms- for
explains,
what words are
for.
the spirit.
This, my way.
the sign. light.
I am branded in his light.
MYSTIC EYES
golden is the vision of the golden eye
behold all, mind eye.
evil eye, demon eye, death eye
argue with
astral eye, peace eye, love eye.
between them everything is seen-
will not argue back.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
another Earth
her eyes gone through the windshield
unharmed
her face scarred for life
throat torn on shattered glass.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDS IN POCKETS
feeling the heat
teeth and gums
peering beyond flesh and bone
mystic eyes –
sparkle and moisten.
when I don't look at objects
I see through walls.
sweeping past telescopes, microscopes
peering at secrets of the cosmos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
counsel me,
mystic eyes
glaring firesuns- yellow suns &
white stars.
I read your eyes in embers, runess, &
the I CHING.
Mystic Eyes / 2
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
cats eyes see in our darknoss
cow eyes by roadside reflected in light
deer eyes paralyzed by flashlight
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I say to the killers,
remind the fools-
THAT
EVERYTHING IS SEEN.
and remembered.
two mystic eyes see all- the third remembers.
Mystic Eyes
for the death
of innocent beings.
