A Poem that Drank the Planets Out of the Sky
By
Wolf Larsen


As the world marches forward into world war three I write a poem, as the land opens its legs to the falling nuclear missiles I make love to you on a huge white page of loudness (the words touching and touching our nakedness like a roar), and we proudly hold up our baby to sacrifice for the approaching mushroom clouds and we smile and smile like shipwrecks at each other and the composers smile like hundreds of monsters sleeping on your tongue and the composers laugh like every fantastic nightmare you have ever touched, in contemporary baroque I unite six billion voices singing their own eulogy, on beautiful sunny days all the flowers are reciting the last words of the human race

Bravo!, I really like this poem, it reminds me a lot of Hardy's Channel Firing. I like the dark, forboding nature of it. At times, one has to wonder-what now?, what comes next?
 
Hi

Thank you SFG.

You asked what comes next. I don't know. I haven't written a poem since 2005. But since then I've written a novel, a monologue, and a book called "Conversations with My New Friends at the Graveyard". The latter is a novel/poem/play/monologue/modern dance/symphony/opera/gallery of painting, photography, sculpture, etc. I'm debating with myself what the next book will be - I've got nearly half a dozen books in my head at the moment.

Cheers!
