EARTH: PROLOGUE

POP!
Blackbirds dropping in the Lab
Skins on the floor
Holding the memory
Invocation of Her face
Relics purified

Skins discarded
Batteries dead
Cell phone run down
MAC in revolt
Entropy

Death
Dreams of Asissa
Her tragic life/death/life cycle
Under your skin

Why, Matt asks
When you tell him
Rhymes with Lisa
Her Jew-German Selves
Divided

Lilith, the child killer
Crushed by the mirror
Child gassed
Double Pisces, vaporized
By the stars

When the artist dies
What becomes of her sky children?
Fallen like the blackbirds
Over the memory of the Ouroboros

Summer Solstice near
Spring lovers nearly cooked
Sulphur purified by Salt
The child caressed
Beneath the skeletons
Between green sips of mojito

Coagulatio beckons
The body entering the cacoon
Seaweed rubbed by Bulgarian fingers
Body exhausted, limp
Lilith flies away
Green Goddess enters

Pain of birth
Reality
Crushing the dream
Gallery shut
No entry

A march up Fifth Avenue
To the Citadel
Mac World
Down the spiral
Beyond time and space
The Genius Bar
And lo, an immediate slot
Eyes of an old soul

I lose time here, he says
X symbol (the lost bride?)
Replaced by a black line
51 percent charged
Onto the Prologue!
