“heathen valley, heathen valley, I stayed upon the top
and I watch them drop
them no know reality, them no know humanity,
them only talk reality and them no manifest no works . . .”
-Delroy Williams
the Earth
as beast
is no easy place
it is why i seek
amorphous space
and endless grace
read it
upon my face
floating
floating
i sing
of Saturn’s rings
of eternal things
in the face of evil
i am always
smiling
never knowing how
to go forward
because their hearts
are always backward
two-faced heathens
shape-shifting cowards
we know them
through their actions
dividing, killing and conquering
depression after depression
never understanding
endless, cosmic expansion
