Las Vegas - 1920's

A Series of Poems

Fortress of solitude,

rough sand straining the tires

the tires that groaned and Creek the muddy logic

ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος,

καὶ ὁ λόγος

ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν,

καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.

entranced infixed

on lubrication foiled

Ἀποκάλυψις μαρτυρίαν ἀκούοντες λόγους

Kai and kai and kai and kai and kai and Philadelphia

ἑπτὰ ἐκκλησίαις

unto the self within between without the true meta-hepta

Kai and kai and kai and kai

and without substantiation and so

she responded but with a vessel that held the trumpet imitation

she responded she responded

with but with the vessel child along the trumpets imitation

Kai and kai and kai and kai and kai

-

airplane transfixed beyond the road,

with the radio transfixed archetypes in glass

forget me not over the high plains forgotten land,

craters fall across the sim-crossed moon pyrixos.

Soon the creeky core does aching floor on the motor car.

all is waiting

all is opening

for the votes to announce the dam

the pharmakeus nomothesia prostagmata of the Republic

Cultivated Holography the latest wonder

wunderkammern of horror vacui of Manhattan Pollock

and The dry gas of alcohol

which will bring soil and water on a flood

to anoint this sacred, seasoned, sacramental land.
