stained in the corner
a Migration ascends
the temporary idea
waiting for death

the carrier of belief
from this distant earth
to the station laced in exhile

no touching achieved
no touching allowed

a missionary position
between idle release
and the conscious uplifting
of individual extinction

a primitive generation
a primordial generation
an "X marks the spot" degeneration

here lies speculation
here breathes visualization
the future empowerment in seams
the future of recurrent dreams
the future of nightmarish larsony

nailed shut
spoiled in secretion
waiting for the carrier
to free this natural descending

but wait for those dreams

those karma coming rhythms
those nirvana bumming ways
achieved here and now
in the here and now

to a terminus chain
and eight paths to choose
as waiting becomes tomorrow

one to heaven
two to hell
three to reckoning
four to reason
five to conversion
six to corruption
seven by seven, this is not death
eight by eight, miscarry the birth

the soul an earth
of child-born innocence

the child born of ignorance
from past-life indifference
satisfied

the seeds of the young
planted
the tears of the living
drowned

no yesterday surrendered
no tomorrow allowed

bleached in the corner
a Migration recycles
the temporary psychosis
waiting for life

Your dangers are many. I
Cannot look much but your form suffers

As expected, Amy this is another great poem.
I loved it all.
But I particularly like these lines :

"those karma coming rhythms
those nirvana bumming ways
achieved here and now
in the here and now"

This is so "Beat" in nature, that I suspect Jack K. may have been "upstairs in bed" with your muse at the writing.
Thanks, Billy
