“they do not fall into the vacuum”
they do not fall into the vacuum
these words of yours these vaccines
that proceed to proclaim to all
the demons that, by command of your Majesty,
in your full council of verbs nouns and adjectives,
they are to be dynamic in maintaining
their rule on earth – it is no poem of sentiment
the one that you last wrote from your zone
of experience - the expanse from where
your tumult burst out not as God
but one of his virtues – it does not plunge
in a muted emptiness, your language of anarchy
but in the core of towns people machineries
