Speed crazy

Hazard man in highway surge
Of loaded scapel to the purge
Pulsing time on steamy wheel
In road-kill rain reel.

Got to meet her,
Little mother
Nursing aid,
Massacre maid

Sliver fast towards the shard
Shattering score in barren boulevard
Manic surgeon of the street
streamlines your hands
Reshuffles your feet

Got to get there
Got to be
First in line
Get it free

                 The night the church burnt
                   ----------------------------
                   Flames from earthy heads
                   In pentecostal night
                   Flare bright in god’s dank house
                   Apotheosis of graven images
                   Souls caught in wood
                   Abandon to the sky at last
                   In dull smoke breath.

                   Leaking eyes glittered once in holy temple
                   Ramshackle garage of the soul
                   Laden with archaic dreams.
                   Squeezed from loamy detritus
                   by gentle tendril
                   To thatch the sky
                   with looped hands and twined fingers
                   Whispered in leafy rattle
                   to sculptor’s liberating hand
