rock promontory

in west baltimore you find rock
hetch-hetchy-like promontories
but oh my.
elijah.
banners of snow in a winter wind
ice on fire in a spring sunrise
huddled pine swelling ten thousand summers
autumn stalwart big moon mirror
elijah.
death and peace in the mountains
fountain of life
we breathe we climb

park and cathedral at sunrise
(elijah cummings has been fighting the fascist coup since before j20)

windwaters aguasviento

please forgive the language of a rapist
but we are in amerigo no longer
shores mountains plains mountains shores islands
thru two great oceans
pole to pole
walking resting filtering dreaming
the same one breathing
we are
in windwaters
come
por favor disculpe el idioma del violador
pero somos en amerigo ya no
orillas montanas llanos montanas orillas islas
en los dos mares
polo a polo
caminando reposando filtrando sonando
el mismo respirando
estamos
en aguasviento
venido

oak tree at sunrise
(baltimore, surrounding the port of baltimore, strove to welcome in 2018. rip kevin zeese.)

sleight of glock

someone wrapped a gloved hand around his ungloved hand and weapon
gloved hands all round
like someone locking inside locks from outside
who would have seen is no one
someone hold his bleeding head in your lap
wipe their blood off a ceramic floor
some one every one
here the last chunk of dried blood on our fingers
refuse to war
refuse
war

toward bennett place at sunrise
(found evidence supports a theory sean suiter committed suicide in bennett place in 2017—the war machine that caged him reacted in an angry thuggish swarm of human rights violations, teeming lost in the smog of a lost war)

medi c/t ate

many times great god mother
walking calmly toward center
in a maze assembled over one thousand years
gathering oxygen to core
winds around
gathering oxygen to core
works out
gathering oxygen to core
switches forever

center of wellness at sunrise
(erricka bridgeford prompted every one to be mindful of the violence in and around them, organizing a ceasefire that started in 2017 and continues)

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.

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

collateral collective insanity

any one
any pain
broken toe holding on to dying in arms
walk in walk out
script
my friends
one less war
or dont we need some one here

coroner at sunrise
(in 2016 fentanyl became the leading cause of overdose death in maryland—bodies are counted at the office of the chief medical examiner on baltimore street—tompetty is going to open for prince on tour next year)

surveillasphere

some where in earth space time
vector to raster to target
drone the sounding
collected electromagnetic watching each other
unbroken layers correlating cellophane
under tarmac floor to ceiling doorstep and doorstep corner with corner rooftop allover on up into orbiture
layers and layers around and through
our slowly expiring starlight

police administration building at sunrise
(in 2016 police, without the knowledge or consent of anyone else including city government added, at eight thousand five hundred feet, a layer of time-tracked pixelated spy photographs and data, linked to street-level surveillance cameras and data, over the entire city—deploying technology developed in the war against iraq)

whose guardrail

to
gathering gaining advancing
all nations society salvation
through
sincerity
first step front line there


strength from all things

no matter where they read it
whose god they say said it
a means to prevent or deter access to peace love understanding
is making shit up

near facebook address for 300 gangstas at sunrise
(300 gangstas came together during the uprising after freddie gray was murdered for no apparent reason by police in 2015)

a los aficionados

words about our fraught body beautiful
boom
sky in spring egg blue
struggle passion
matadors and gravity
baseballs flying straight pure natural
touching
nobody nothing but here

from the playground at the city at sunrise
(the orioles played to no one once in 2015 after freddie gray was murdered by police for no apparent reason)
