Note: I had thought to use the f word as a symbol, to describe the concept that what happened can happen again, a word in a poem paints a thousand concepts, no?
But I thought people could take offence, and perhaps, take the f word another way, even when used in sympathy, which is why I have changed it, I do not want to hurt anyone, so I’ve taken it out and replaced it with the clumsier expression, gay men used as fuel…
Given a name, Raelene,
I forgot to be nameless,
I was named into that into which I fell
One plastic that stretches
For all pupils, called
“The future”
Devours strong leviathans, swimming
Who prop up the earth
And the plastic spreads
Our pupils over everything
Seeing we see nothing
And I no longer see myself.
History huddles
In concentration camps
And learning burns like books
And wise women and gay men, used as fuel,
And what is left on
Democracies corpse but maggots of double think?
They laugh at the cool
Of a rhythmless line-up
Ready to be shot down for being human
Like me
Is it decay, nature,
The yin and yang pendulum
A goddess who devours her children?
Not a Hollywood movie, no,
But a slap in the face reality
That awakes
That i am clueless
Among this hell called life lived
Of mockery, love turned against, heaped with more mockery, but a love that can’t be lost but only twisted,
I hear raelene,
As at deaths bridge
I delve
Deep, deep, and deeper
Into myself, raelene
And there I find and uncover
The christ within raelene
Raelene, christ within
Around
Compass everywhere
The centre of the dream
Tho true love be turned against me
On, christ, on, raelene
While the world becomes a horror movie
On
Where the cry of the leviathan die, ignored with bliss,
On a throne I sit, exist,
A throne, tho
Politics, ethics, love, compassion, sanity, breakdown,
A maelstrom of hate, like a tornado of a broken weather system,
A throne on which to find peace
On, for –
For a name we forgot
For something we’ve forgotten
For a name we named over
But a name that calls on god/dess
To find christ within
The centre of the universe
Humanity
