Tracheotomy of Gaia

Your public school pronunciation
A piercing tracheotomy
Loosening the bounds which bind me chest
Exhaling the poison of the sphere

But sentences, verbopompous
Dhannel the memories, a child
Stood in the mud,
dueling with the billowing
Murdoch broadsheet rag

Disbelieving

Forasmuch belief now:

The roofs are all painted white
The tarmacadam is white
The civic lakes foam with algae, blooming in the baking winter sun


The mine workers are coming up besmeared and frowzy
Long day spent burying carbon pellets
Beneath the commissioners sentinel dog gaze

aged regret
and the senile repent

While a baron rides by on his horse
