Winter Song (Free verse) by Wulf
Mama Mama
make a place for me
i'm tired of fighting
and i...
i'm not ready
ready to sing
my Winter song
been too damned long
just long enough
for me to see
Mama Mama
i see everything
There's a big black star
in the center of the oceans
the deepest dark and gravity
where the last whale
will go to die
Mama Mama
there's a grown man cryin'
Make a prayer
if you come to see
the vacant eyed prisoners
the gallery
of lost hope
souls on fire
Pray for me Mama
i am a mouth
in the choir
There's a big black hole
in the middle of the Earth
the deepest dark and gravity
where the last wolf
will go to die
Mama Mama
it's a zoo inside
Look into the eyes
of the great black ape
His tears are real
the things he feels
his naked soul
the pit of shame
a guiltless pawn
to the zoo game
We are better
than we once were
not near as good
as we should have been
pathetic results
of a mother's sins
unto the Earth
do we begin
We are not embrace-ed
the far country of the dawn
mystery of the centuries
and yet we represent
what they would become
Do you see her rivers
in the coursing of your blood
feel the vastness
of her skies
in the Moonbeams
of your eyes
taste the warmth of her Sun
hot upon your flesh
suckling the nipple
of your Earth Mother's breast
The clamps of civilization
hold the wild animal
Us
in the cage
of our indifference
ignorant bliss
unaware
one of the others
the others of one
until there are many
The many are none
My eyes have broken
The ice is broken
white and liquid blue goo
pouring down her frozen landscape
exit seeking
the passage through
Mama Mama
what should i do
We are a sightless dog
teeth gnashing
in rabid frenzy
frothing at the mouth
lips bared in lupine
snarling agony
at the dark bright sight
of no light
tight canyon
short circle
of our tether
Dripping fangs tear
They part the air
and it becomes
what air is not
rancid breath
of breathing death
and poison caught
in smoking dreams
the nuclear melting pot
This book
is the dark book
an untruthful experience
in the art of weaving
expendable lies
Mama Mama
my voice is deep
and the holes i creep
are the worm-infested tunnels
infecting the brain Children
of my uncertain device
Some are born to the danse
three-legged and lost
fairly stumbling
backing into the corner
of the finite circle
They are a log jam
of sad-eyed jesters
cavorting fools
unimportant and unnecessary
replaced
before they begin
to start
He walks among the trees
talking into the mouths
of their squirrel holes
hugging himself
against the leafless boughs
of the long dead
scraping his skin
on the hard bark
of that embrace
Kisses found
on the fluttering wings
of a starless night
kisses bound
as butterfly things
and marrow pieces
of bone infirm
dead sparrow
and the crawling of worm
And the flames of the faggot
curling melt of the maggot
surely as they burn
and their voices learn
the howling
depths of pain's hot flashes
as they join for ever
and ever become
a singular pile
of worthless ashes
A shaman's danse
plays around them
mouthly priestly madnesses
He gathers them up
chant chant chanting
He gathers them up
sprinkles a taste
on his serpentine tongue
rolls in the dirt
until the song is sung
He takes apart an eagle
before its parts can die
mixes them together
lays them out to dry
pounds them with a stone
ashes into dust
pours them in his war bag
shakes his fist at us
We are spinning in a mirror
focus out of time
only pieces of someone's yesterday
our stiff bodies mime
music of the dead
words already said
Embrace the false prophet
Look back until you find
what you want on rewind
Original thought
Get off it!
She wants a kiss
just like the kiss...
Clark Gable
Mama Mama
make a place for me
i'm tired of fighting
and ...
i want to go down
and live with the new Children
been waitin' too damned long
i want to sing to them
i want to sing
my Winter song
i am ready now
little piece of my life
like a good old knife
Cut it out!
My heart flops like a dying fish
i'm tired of this
