The Broken One
February 13, 1991

rain is stirring up the ashes littered on the city street
washing slurry down gutters
filling the sewers of the city
dreams and ancient magazines float out among this rubble
bits of life and trash and toys
diseases from the slums
wasteland of the homeless, the possessed and soon forgotten
terror of the jungle from this steel haze and smoke-
from this jumble rises the last of man's great sufferings
last because this one signs his ending

from the twisted alleyways where fear has ever mingled
with the screams of dreaming broken souls-
the wails of the hungry
the kids who eat from garbage cans-
here from in man's haunted relics
with his shattered doves and melted hawks
charred bits of birds of war
death's head rises to answer calls
of man's last great creation
the germ fit so secure in phials
silver and gold to its creators

no more magic fairy rings for you my wanting child-
just endless dreams and agonies, and tell me is it real-
I'm sorry they burned your fairy land your paper doves and such
but to this end your hapless cries reached only dirt
virus free from heart of ice
