?...Further on my closeted skeletons...?


Poem Artwork


Banging & crashing,
Clattering & clanging,
Irrupting & clashing,
Dem bones are disintegrating,
Maybe to make room for more,
Or hopefully disappearing altogether…

Dem bones be scattering,
I be of them aerosolizing,
Trying to clean out dem closets,
Of the filth that has of them & me, choked…

There is in there a tumultuous pile,
So much to clean, so little time,
God, this closet must go back a mile,
But with every bone destroyed I get one smile,
But years it might take to spifflicate this hateful heap,
As it has taken my life to accumulate them all, & none were ever cheap…

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
