TWO DAGGERS
mists of vampyric fumes i walk through
with poison-dart and the mana of fire
two daggers are in my belt
and the key and the lock rests in my separate hands
separate like the sun and the moon
or like flesh and man
or like love and romance
but conjoined
except for the last one
THE SEMIEN KINGDOM
the semienite kings erected stelae
to the kingdom of the struggle with god
ethiopian lands
under the flag of the star
judit war command
the queen casts her leather noose
and steers the forces of beta israel
into a battle of redemption and of honor
conducted in a strong and hebraic iron tradition
not even a holocaust could ever quell
WAR AND WILL
war and will
statues of heroism
bronze and terracotta
the hero-gaze of lapis lazuli
or coast-blue
or menses-red
the light emitted from
the unshamed worship of masculinity
cooled in the shadows cast
by great eagles with amber wings
and their beaks as diamond and pearl
held together the manichaean ubiquity of life
steel and marble dedications below their flapping wings
edelweiss and kruppstahl shine above in the horizon
the walpurgis fire luminating it
from down below
NOT ONCE
not once have my body become under attack
and not once blood have spilled to the ground
without I having exercuted proper reprimand
and not once it shall ever ever happen
war and will
retaliation
conquest
the valor of revenge
is a cultural-historical constant
and it is in the core interest of every healthy culture
to perserve it
and to nurture it
FOLD MY SOUL
if i could fold my soul just a thousand times
it would be as thick or thicker
than the conventional dimensions of space-time
TRIAL BY PUBLIC OPINION
female collaborator
passionate romantic lover
total and unforgivable traitor
or cringing victim of horrendous rape
they know not
shave her head
in a grotesque ceremony of humiliation
they do
nevertheless
