I think about a world to come where the books were found by the golden ones, written in pain, written in awe by a puzzled man who questioned, "What are we here for?" All the strangers came today and it looks as though they're here to stay.

Flowers to the Wild Weeds


Stones bloomed with red carnations, reptiles swelled in size
the sun descended like a lord dressed in gold robes
holding his earth-wife in his arms dressed with the moon,
and passed out wings for worms, and flowers to the wild weeds.
