mother language sky

mother language sky
 
 
cook less food -- will he finger shake?
what knife gleanings: 
the gluttonous day when
worship's gone like white purple blood
on the bare breast
of mother language sky?
 
we laid down
shopping complex numbers racket
parking lot interstate highway system
harvest appliances toxic waste accessories
tract housing junk mail landfill tea
where fronded purples waved
and naked rock bared its teeth at
mother language sky.
 
high way traffic signal
crossing guard rail diffusion
time table turning
over line contrail deception smoke
chain of command:
coughing our lungs out under
mother language sky.
 
lies harrow memory
spoils limn shadow fruit
space virus transforming death seas finger
food of the gods of
mother language sky.
 
speak less often -- will she drawer slam?
do you see:
barren cold desert
whisper night ghost
bones acrumble rat scurry ribcage
of mother language sky?
