AERONAUTICA

AERONAUTICA

The air is full
of living languages
I don’t understand.

In the shapes of things
as they appear today

mutant evolution, the end
results of lingering
chaos causalities
(nearly wrote
casualties)

as if
   those butterflies in China
have grown dragon, perhaps
pterodactyl wings

and me trying on my old
battered Stetson hat of
Joe Cool casual cowboy

alone at my post, SS Totenkopf
or Das Reich division about
tiger tank over me
panzer
   right through me

will be my karma
a relief of sorts

the air
    full of sounds by no means
all of them Indo-European

my book
    of many colours closing;
enjoy your schadenfreude
