is this a grave
are the fields and forests, the desert
the tunnels, the clusters, the chaordic
this wordless destruction, threat
without a message where the blood snow
on the wrong side of genesis
where the lake was to be a pearl
where the beady eyes should have been
where the answers should have been added to
dark atom snow through materia
mater

lived time, lived place
that memory forces into present tense
sketched in moonlight through the gate
in filmy sunlight through the gates
a mother was, a mother’s echo
the universe expands
the universe expands
testing, forcing, orating
through the gates in the Japanese character
for passively utilized surface, negative space
the conditional emptiness
is not emptied; that something, through
the hazy sunlight spells Ma

Ma in the mould the matrix
in the mother animal mother tree
butterflies were, heavy water
firewater was anima
I turn around

adrenaline, adrenaline was
swirls, swirls
the milky way’s
spiral structure, poisonous swirls were
hamster wheels, the mobius strips’
which happened, it happened and happened
pattern light, bright lattice bright
where eye light fractured into prisms
where the bloodhound
whose eye had burst insomnia

Earth: mother earth
was. Pangaea
was and Gondwana
was broken from Pangaea
from Pangaea Laurasia
