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
