picts
they tattooed the animals on
their skins badger hawk bison
boar fox images cruaths of
forests earth ice woad and
blood inked in our flesh and
thus took on their powers
wild horse white-maned herds
of wind of rain pinestorm howls
wolverine bear raven fish mouse
naked among trees and caverns
ancestors the cruaths spread over
their immense bodies constellations
of beasts in the flesh of blue
stars over the universal
imagination of night they hunted
the animals of this dream
owl deer river worm and fire
dragons of vision inside the skull
and thus became their powers
where are noble animals
coyote the wolf listen
to them howl a long white
spray of utter stars of pure
grief out of night the
nebulae of lost spirits
explodes flows from throats of
animals who cry upward
from the roots of earth
we die the air is extinct
the tribes of water of
fire and forests compressed of
a billion years of mineral
bones wild hunger where
we were in the solitude of fur
muzzles and bellies of milk
in dens of rock where all things
curl to sleep dream the
earth extinct the home
of noble animals in a
huge night
howl in a nightmare of
electric sleep scream of streets the
throat of darkness slashed
noise of engines, razor hunger
crashed into eyes as dinosaurs
once crashed into trees and
stars and died there became
the oil of crushed black time
flows now from earth
wounds the same beginning
and end at speed of night
wheels roll over and over
the animals their cries are
flat the brains dead line
down the middle of streets highways
spun out into stars one-way
DNA unwinding entropy
of hearts horses wolves of
cars cougars mustangs they
gallop in metallic bodies of
death over the cliff
of our staring eyes
can you believe the night
is ended can you
receive the extinction of
stars
