It's time again to post one of magnificent poems to this exalted site, much lie a dutch elm tree spreading its delicious seeds... so here goes. This one is about an alien abduction, which is of course total bullshit but interesting to write about:
They came from above
A lone road no light but headlight,
Driving drifting into the night
Sheltered by pines and mountain heights
Alone with time
Riding gliding as only four wheels allow
Tank is full of the old dead of earth
Nowhere to be and no one to see
On Mr. Kerouac’s road again…
DAWN
DAWN
DAWN
Blinding light spinning bright
Silence is deafening
A disc,
The DISC, spins up high
Lifted floating weightless
Prone in the sky
A body in motion stays in motion
Goodnight light.
Naked nude defenseless
Whiteness dazzling overwhelming
A table never felt so soft
Men monsters beings of dream
Grey brown or white
Who can say?
Dangling machine,
Brother of octopus descends un-tethered…
It stabs
It burns
It flays
My flesh!
My heart!
My soul!
Goodnight light.
A lone road no light but headlight,
Driving drifting into the night
Sheltered by pines and mountain heights
Alone with time
