Those Deep Buds

by Dog Faced Hermans

/
1.
Justice - two steel balls on a hard rod Miscarriage - a centrifuge losing its hold Incident - that from which we be embarrassed The comfort of strangers - hope lies constant in the mouth

Volkswagen 05:35
Volkswagen the sun Volkswagen the moon Its image glows Twice the height of a man Hung high on the factory It interrupts the dark Benevolent or fat An ultraviolet stamp That waxes in each night As long as there's work
3.
Keep your laws off my body What I have I'll not return I will live in no dark ages But in the light Clear as glass is my decision What I have I'll not return I will fight this territory It's mine to fight Mister when you're in the sunshine And a shadow falls across Just look up and you will find me I'm in the light

If my memory serves me well We used to go out into the fields And lie and swell And lie and swell And lie and swell Quite openly we swole Until we grew so big The boys would see us And want to touch us Sometimes we'd let them More often We swole so big that They grew frightened Picked up their things And ran away And ran away And ran away And ran away Leaving us gently Resting in our size

Human Spark 04:46
Human spark The last of stars Human spark The last of stars Human spark The last of stars Human spark The last of stars Human spark The last of stars Human spark The last of stars I stand in awe of DNA Kinetic strategy in action Human spark The last of stars Human spark The last of stars I made a man I made a man I made a man I made a man A tube out and not fleshed Since that day

The women and girls Move onto the floor Kick off their shoes In a pile by the door Straighten their straps Loosen their hair Moving around each make up a pair Holding their breath... The women and girls Twelve dancing princesses Burn holes in the floor With the weight of their heat Losing themselves Is pleasure encoded Deliver us, deliver us once Deliver us, deliver us from These four limbs... Roll me over Don't wake me Roll me over Don't wake me The women and girls Move onto the floor Kick off their shoes In a pile by the door Straighten their straps Loosen their hair Moving around each make up a pair Moving around each make up a pair Holding their breath...

Virginia Fur 05:57
She came from a community Where women ruled the roost Imparted effortlessly A sense of my sex's ascendancy In the scheme of things And every word And gesture of hers Displayed a natural dominance A native savagery And I am very grateful For all that now Although the core The core of steel Was a bit inconvenient When I was looking Looking for boyfriends In the South In the 1950s Looking for boyfriends In the South In the 1950s When girls were supposed to be Just as soft As soft and pink As a nursery

Calley 04:10
In my dream I went into Columbus Columbus, Georgia, through the rain Seemed only like I knew where I was going To a store - Bill Calley - something - supplies The name is hazy Inside the place was lit against the darkness Dull, silver, sharp and shiny things Like jewels or tools - I can't remember I see my man He stands behind the counter His face set all uneven Fairly fit still, the ex-marine And now I'm here, I have my question ready Ready as anyone Ready as anyone “Oh Mr Calley - Please - a moment of your time - about My Lai...” Suddenly I couldn't see for running And I'm in a space that's screaming And could say no more for choking On the smoke which came smoking Which came pouring from the the clearing And I knew why I was running From the cracking of the branches From the heavy men behind me Bulk and sweat in uniform With implements and running clumsy Knowing that there was no need for caution No opposition No defending Easy work And one I saw his face he'd turned towards me His face set all uneven Like a young man who'd had a stroke at twenty-one His face he turned towards me and he hisses “Get out, get out, get out This my place of business” “Get out, get out, get out This my place of business” “Get out, get out, get out This my place of business” “Get out, get out This my place of business”
