BE AWARE NOW Musaeus
learn the sacrificial rites
learn my prayer:
The Lord I sing
and the land and the sun
and the moonlight and all the stars.
–of the Orphic hymns
An apokatastasis song.
Haven’t you heard? that the metabolic revolution has already begun?
that the rift is mending? that there is not a trace of the separation?
It started in Queens. Green-black-green tunnel of far-stretching Linden street warping and bending to break until suddenly–
it’s all exactly the same
but we’re in the territory now you and I
deep in the territory
the shrubby brush
the lanternflies that leap when you prick their spotted backsides
the words scrawled on the pavement:
MARWAN BARGHOUTI WALKS FREELY BETWEEN WORLDS !
beyond the reach of the deathly administration the deathly ministers calculatorheads sociologists ecologists econometricians holocaust machines etc. etc.

chickenbone crust anthropocene folding into neo-pleistocene melt

just look at their claws!
we’re breaking new ground in topological isomorphism
we find a fairy ring in the Field of Rosemary
we find fungal mind holy mind all mycelial and dumb like that–

already we are seeing the stomachbowl appetite give way to mastery
and I do still believe that the seas shall be lemonade
and of course I still believe that the seas shall be lemonade
(may all beings benefit
may all sentient beings benefit).
