ONE DAY
Death will one day
hold you in his arms
and sweetly kiss you;
death will know how
you like to be loved:
stroll now in the mind
of God, cartwheel
across the diamonded
sky, say hello to
hell and back, skin
your knee on a
vanishing dream,
bite down hard
on forever,
soar like song
through the sunset
of the world
BIG D #4
however,
in the end
we fall apart
we depart the province
of desire
winter comes to our
minds
the clock stops
PUTTING ON HEIRS
In the end we fly apart
into molecules,
the smart mingling
with the fools.
We drift about in the
atmosphere,
disintegration our
whole career.
Only so much majestic mist
and soulful smoke--
nobody knows a
better joke.
You'll be an eternal part
of every breeze,
every speech, every lie,
every sneeze.
Ah, the infinite joy of
a life outdoors--
on the wings of airy
forevermores.
