A Tributary In Servitude 18 Cypress of Cyrus

my belly's mark betrays the path I have taken on earth's threshing floor.

My songs are not entirely mine

the melody belongs to someone else— I'm only a hitman for the plot.

I'm emptying my weaknesses into the sea— I want my strength renewed from source; time rises and falls on mind's beach-sands

Tidal waves begin their sorry-tales in

the middle of the sea, but they must smash their vagabond teeth on the breast of sands.

For I must shed my old blood— rent my skin, sharpen my fangs

and teach my scales to fight their talons.

After each triumph on the battlefield

the commando re-strategizes with the power of fertile calculations that turned out fatal.

This war continues on the insides of me. I do not know

"Why do you write in this goddamned hell? it offers nothing to make poetry with?"

my head is restless; my heart is heavy—

I see a man-damned

hell of a heaven— habitual

man-damners undoing themselves.

Again, my father thunders in the deep the mountains rise; the valleys sink mountains are damsels jingling the bell

The valleys sit mourning the miner who can neither

explore nor puncture the hymen of earth.

Tomorrow extends like sebride to fuck sky-groom; may the morning-sun bring fresh lilies to my path of stones…
