DEEP WATERS
Only deep waters move the globe; this is why Noah
Prays for a rainy night. But, today’s tsunamis is not
Enough water to float the money going to Iraq.
Maybe because the earth’s core is made out of iron
That we want to remain children of the Kali Yuga;
There is enough blood in this age to float Noah’s boat,
The iron we pull out of earth mother goes to make the
Armadas that float on our ocean of tears and also the
Spears of Longines that pierce the side of so many Christs.
Women in Sparta love the young men; but when the “Sons
Of these deep waters” dies in a bath, they admire the rose
Colored water. Perhaps our blood is red because of iron.
The Kalki avatar comes to end the blood bath of the Kali Yug;
A god can do this, but tell me how men can hear the lyre of
Orpheus when he has grown accustom to Pluto’s blood and iron.
I suppose even a lion can become a vegetarian after his first kill;
His tail would have to be tethered to the elephant’s trunk, the
Largest of vegetarians, so he could be yanked away from his prey.
Moses could part the Red Sea full of blood, we could call him;
But we would also have to summon Noah to retrieve the ark
Because we would return to deeper waters of oceanic pain.
