MONDAY (6/02/08)

Judge orders return of sect children
Yes, a thing yet spoken, not yet language, can extinguish expectation, fill one’s throat with dewdrops of dread. Best we use it, this wordless wish, before it howls.

Danish Embassy Attack in Pakistan Kills at Least 6
Waiting by the curb, eyes wide in life… There it is. Statuesque. Resilient. Breathing. The rodent on the ground is no match for the eagle. Still, both parasitic animals, yet not the spirit which they've little control.

After Tense DNC Meeting, What Happens Next?
Damn! It certainly makes for some great television! Entertainment meant, intended to distract, deflect the truth. Holy Christ! A reality show of adulterated democracy! A game of cat and mouse leading us further from the nub.

Home from Iraq a Marine is Fatally Wounded
Rage, the world’s brute, isn’t merely for war and warring. Rage can climb out of its makeshift margins and land next to our startled feet and staggering eyes.

(Startled feet rarely run straight and staggered eyes are blind.)

Rage has superpowers, flying long after we’re home and war’s a whisper.

Kennedy Undergoing Brain Surgery for Tumor
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Said the lion facing the knife.

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

SKYFALL

Skyfall... We continue to play along with an unnatural game that has serious consequences, soon we'll find ourselves enslaved without recourse to the system. (Is that true of local charades?) Yes. (Why can't we free ourselves from the system?) The madness of money. (It's not money, it's people, right?) It's both, money and us in tandem, thus assuring money's might and our adherance to its loudness. (Madness...) Indeed. © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

THE ROCK HOLDS

The rock holds the soil in and from the soil springs the tree, the green of LIFE rolling from the blue, rising to the occasion of itself. . “Be!”, the (H)eartH declares, “Be what you are!” . (We thought we were!) . (We think we are!) . “You are, but not freely, therefore, only a thought, and a thought without much thinking, as if you were scared into it.”, the (H)eartH added. . [a quietude begins, the truth being heard and heeded, grooving to the flow] ~ © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
