LAUTREAMONT'S LOVE
Chant to me
Lautreamont with love
for the transmuted words
to make everyone's phrases
as one limitless lexicon
in a Pascal dictionary
of quoted fervent meditations
over third chronicled graces
from mangled mirrors
in your ambulatory quotes
on trespassed made up faces
where destiny waits
on exiles on islands
continents and archipelagos
in deserts thirsting
for lost traces
of disappointed excavations
or dug up horizons
impervious records
of updated trials of sentences
in gulag snows
bloodied by coffins
with funeral directors
watching the last deer leaps
there is a copy
of your verses everywhere
in Las Vegas motels
of second chances
and comings amid fawning
illustrations reading you quietly
in corners of gated
Potemkin villages
by German concentrations
on scientific amnesty
by coroners of round two
camps of laboratory experiments
bad mouths Orwellian language
of 1984 out of context
with post war Fassbender
film stars as the STASI
spies on the underlines
of poll watchers in Berlin
there under moldy blinds
in housetops crowds watch
under seven stories told
by the mass media
about Nazi zoo parades
connecting battled tested
veterans of Stalingrad war games
by the unhooked gaping wide
flings from head quarters
of the cartels and brothels
a former crematoria S.S. general
visits an Argentine small town
by the farmers produce
at the general store
here once iron clad wings flee
a common dimentia caseload
at a mocking bird club generally
wishes for a friendless memory
hears a singing canary (1968)
at Prague and Paris windows
near the Texas border
an unprotected guard
with the former Peronist mustache
washes in the gold dusty town
hearing your voice, Lautreamont
a farmhand takes bids for an auction
of paintings stolen in Vichy
during the watershed year,'43
located in a used bookstore
by a lost Maldoror
relocated in Stalag,1943
even they have your number
that number remains
on your arms intact for history
you find Lautreamont
in a Jerusalem library.
