Same Ground


All branches return to the same root.
All paths return to the same Ground.

Whatever begins has an end.
What doesn't does not.

The beginning of all beginnings.
The end of all ends.

  1. Ground

    Softly there. The dead
    Bamboo shoots. Walking-sticks for
    Broken legs. Swords sheathed.

    Worms. And more worms. Mouths
    Burrowing through sealed coffins.
    Anything awake?

    Sampling, like hip-hop.
    Punks’ cut-ups. Contrapuntal
    Bone on xylophone.

    Asking for it. Blight.
    Palsy. Purple splotches. Dry
    Heaves. Shredded poems.

    One for burning. One
    Mulch. Brain-dead. Eyeless sockets
    To punch both thumbs through.
