Hororscope Birth Chart

i fall and ascend in a sea
vantablack
spiral light
fire ghosts and ice
that cut the soul to pieces
like scissors
that split rabbits

industry of a hissing creation
polluted altar of sleeping lakes
and scythe
bludgeon and howitzer
prods of push and pull
in a grindhouse
necropolis of craters
scattering snake eggs and tumors

i am here born to you thin of bone
mother of catastrophes
on a colossal ball of scab and callous
that moves sonorous dazzling shapes
careening through
ephemera workhorse torches
of doom

you fill me with knots of terror
and desperate dreams of stairway wings
veils and glimmers
resolutions dissolving
petaled apertures of desire
and night whispers
in a spider web of sonic bulls

before undertows gravity
i was vibrant
but then i died into the rock ash of earth
they called it my birthday
my parents with party hats and balloons
blinked fetters
against nights of concrete and stone

i got deader still
until i was nothing
but an imagineless gob of mud and breath
an eye looking out
behind red nerve crop fires
and tears shook like tambourines
down heavy lashes
cascaded fluttering tassels

i am born to you mother of senile seas
citadel of shattered glass
in a slate cube of cyclones
mute and screaming
my fate deep shock
encased in mausoleums led nautilus
i am born to you mother of senile seas
citadel of shattered glass
in a slate cube of cyclones
mute
suffocating
my fate deep shock
encased in mausoleums led nautilus
blatting hells jaundiced shriek

Pluto conjunct Saturn

I must say you are very inventive with ideas and language. I do not speak only about this poems but add others of yours i have read. I cannot always follow you but the central point is always held strong like the backbone which supports the body.

The most powerful reaction
of mind on mind
is transference of sight

Many thanks for your kind comment Glad you likes it!
