late breaking manifesto
Between the earth and light
Between the face and teeth
lies the gums and crust
is the last mans' words
In the last days' air
Pulling out each of his
Last brained hair
and in this parting
of skull from lash
and earth from sky
and cloak from sash
Is his
One Last
Very last breath
That breaks the air
in one last gust
And the ideas flow
through his mind
He feels one last lust
The thunder shakes
and wonder breaks
with one last thrust
He mimes the falling if a man
falling in the cracks of
the impenetrable earth
and weaving through roots and clay
makes his way to the
inevitable hellish turf
that awaits his now
not one last fall since
He will no longer know
of last or first or next
or always or never
Since always last first and never
will never and won't always exist ever.
