ancient kinetic
homosynthetic
mountains of zeros
countless in fear- o
almost electric…
the forest on fire!
fire, fire, fire, burn…

i may not be human
but i know what every human know:
being & becoming
fear & loving
eat, sleep, think, & grow
lonesome in the arctic,
a cathartic shift to vegetable
human-being, animal
murderous compatible

tell me what you see
now tell me every little thing you know
tell me how the trees,
long held beliefs
& all our dreams evolve
being & becoming with no end
is unsustainable
blood & oil, drainable
name all the unnameable
fire!

under rats
under rain pounder rats
fire!
