On the back of the crest
Creeps the fall
To the sound of crashing waves
In the play of eternity
The furious cavalry charge
Rising every moment
To a rapturous peak
Is suddenly
Brought to its knees
With the fort so close
The shore beneath its feet
And the broken waves return
To the slumber of the deep
Where in the womb of mermaids
They are nursed to sleep
There is the small of the back
And then there is the big about it
Keeping my eyes on the one
I can explore
the ramifications of the other thing
by the riverside
in cool glades
if the goats of spring
will find their feed
the goatherd then
god bless him
must be allowed to
help himself to
what he needs
im a regular carnivore
with a bird’s metabolism
im the wisest of beasts
with the metaphysics of
a tadpole

(that's) some lust in the time of destruction
That which
Will get
Over soon
That which is
Forever but
Not ours to keep
That that
Should have to be
Decorated and nourished
But what hunger is that
What aesthetics
Will worry over
every detail and
not a wink sleep
a cloud born free
in the widest sky
will gather water
only to rain out
and that is
the end of it
in the fitness of things
what is then
saving for
the rainy day I think
tremors shake
waves crash
people die
True globalization hasn’t stopped at the disasters. That we’ve heard. And have even seen manmade ones cause destruction of fantastic proportions across the lands. But the contrast between what nature wreaks and what man hath wrought lies at the moment 150 miles off tokyo. Tsunami, colossal, terrible swept away much that had been carefully put together. However, despite the scale of the crisis, as such it was going to be confined to japan. But the radioactive leak fears are proving to be something else. Apart from the panicked reaction it has triggered off among opponents of nuclear power who have been galvanized into greater agitation on the basis of the cold evidence in japan, it also made me look up to the sky to see if it was going to rain because I got texted a warning about there being a chance of radioactive ash or something in the rainwater so please use a umbrella. There.
