.8-AEON
the trees shiver
they were people once
who long since left
the meadows of youth

their flimsy dreams fell
like snowflake crystalline
ever and always from view

and as our roots
sink deeper into earth
we know it is
for the heart
much too small a place

where protests counts for nothing
and words are a measure of redundancy
freedom is void


.10-A NEVER-HEARD-OF ROAD
along there lay a pumpkin-head man
wearing the excrements of birds
a cracked skull showing
his innermost thoughts:
in defeat
we defeat ourselves


.11-MUMMIES
the sun is shining
ever on the unworthy
