Principles of Existence V

And finally
When bragging about talents
Knowledge, orgasms
A new prеy bleeding
In the young jingling teeth
Beware:
All these
Are unearthly deeds
Of the Skull
That everything stems from It
Both the Theatre chuckle
Raising a hero up on a fork
And beautiful scenery
With the only
Cut off vein
Expiring meekly
Both a poppy
Growing next
To the vomitting factory
And a drop
Sliding from the throat
Over a nipple
And on
Into the raging wound
Of true sex
Don"t just regret
Scattering wheat
In between these letters
"Cause the Soldier and the Traitor
And the Lover
Are all here to bloom
To wake you up at midday
With a glass of wine
And some bread
And an egg with salt
Dress you up comb you
Carry you out
And into cremated fields
And leave you there
With the only Birth
In the whole World
Squeezed in an iron fist
To hear each scream of Hers
Each of Her confessions
And then
Retell it
Through the hollow gaps
Of the Skull
