you die i’ll eat (unbridged)

in spite of our insignificance the fiery trial to the next generation stormy present enthrall our no democracy


devotion not perish

earth.

(the baltimore symphony orchestra performed a lincoln portrait a month after oligarchs managing northern asia assumed executive control of the united states in 2017)

soundteller

ocean distills in drips of
wood brass steel animal vibrating
as the teller felt
warmth and light in dark
shape
islands into whales
seahorses into mares into colts
birds and fire
notes dying dancing step
turn toward
mountains diving down into sea
shifter
running with tiger soaring walls
flickering cave

sculpture and symphony hall at sunrise, preston and howard streets, baltimore
