the ground will soon crack
Final thunder.
Shut up.
Shut up, final thunder.
Do you think I can't make
Words out of lightning burning?
Do you feel the rain
Washing your skin to shiny bones?
Final thunder,
Grow up.
Final thunder,
Go away.
Do you think I can't kiss a flower
With the same amount of sunlight
You try to disease and decree wasted
By stormclouds and empty shapes in the sky?
Do you really believe
Mud can't be made of lies.
That
Dirt
Can't be made
Of tries.
That
Love
Can't be made of
Cries.
Die, final thunder.
Your ugly shape is causing me pain.
Your ugly rain is causing me rape.
Your
Ugly face
Is putting me to sleep.
And I mean dead asleep.

Shut up, final thunder.
I can quake you
Faster
Than California crumbled in the water.
I can make you
Die faster
Than the sea kissing Malibu.

So this is how it ends.
The foundation of my home
Thrown into the ground
Atop walls that once held pictures in frames.
Atop a roof that crumbled and fell
And --
It is the new wall,
The new shape of things come and gone.

I liked the tree outside my window,
The palm that stood solemn in the sun.
Now it too is gone.

I liked the church I never went to.
This
Was going to be the year I finally
Woke up and
Went to
Bed.

I wish I
Could see
The
Stars
With
out
the
punishment
of
nourishment
gone
flourished to
the saddened blue
of
skylight
fa
lling
to
pie
ces
of
s

h

a
r
d
s

& tumbled cards.

god, i love a broken match
to catch and light
and burn out fast
in my fist, my crying fist,
my crying fist of soil.

i hold in this closed-open hand
the future you will never seed.
the
future you will
never flame.
the
future
you will never
blame.
the
life you will
never
shame.

and then final thunder again came.

serenity,
It's both a storm and a sort of impending earthquake feeling. It's hard to explain, but for some reason, I've had lots of earthquake dreams lately, and the weird thing is it isn't just SEEING the place shake, I can FEEL it too. It's one of those lucid dreams; you swear it's actually happening. I wanted to tap into that, for whatever reason. And I'd love to dance with you.

Thanks, Martie.

walt,
Always a pleasure, of course.

Mike
