My First City Siren surreal poem

My First City Siren



(http://pixabay.com/p-77333/?no_redirect)


my first city siren
came winging out of the night
like a god mouth howling
without a god head thinking
a brother sister hurting
the red flashed like the sweetest 
sugar crackle
sweet haze
of confusion
that struck me so
in my lofty vision

but I lived near a hospital
and the god ear shriveled 
up on the godhead god
all the old gods
are sick and 
silent 
here

the illusion of heaven
are crickets in the field
are toads in the pond

a choir of the first 
songs

my first city siren was so young a voice
bouncing off the brick and mortar
born

I fear it might become
an old song
one day

and a new voice
beyond 
rises
in 
it's
pain

but whatever 
head that is 
god
you might be
throw it back
all unhinged 
and raw

the first city siren
that rips through your
dark mind
windows
flashed
illuminating

the chirp
and hum
of the field
glowing
radiating
incandescent 

our voice knows 
no words
for such
pain

our footsteps crush
the choir
so sympathetic
to our
journey 
but 
tread lightly
for
past the
crushed and crashed
silence
of our 
quaking hands
and restless feet
the still
earth 
reveals 
the gnaw of worms
in the earth
that is
our bodies

without sound

my first city siren
passed my by
an ache
in my
godhead
god

an ache
under
the 
fedora hat

a halo i so
remove
from my ears
in the meadow
of false heaven
the ground still
eats away
beyond
beyond
