Primate Scream

we are the lost generation
sons and daughters
wandering the bleak streets
shouting in the darkness
together alone
averting empty eyes
children of the void

we live behind the page
stumble over lines
post modern post meaning
moving in the vast
directionless undefined
uttering blasphemy
imbecile gods

clumsy feeling our way
sweating lost virginity
hooked up shacked up
undulating in danse macabre
corpse-like clinging alone together
a primal demiurge
howls in the void

hurtling past cosmic sands
dust of infinity
hands clutching empty
raised to the spangled silence
to the unknown knowing
a despair of nothingness
cries to be known

swift in blinding arc
the pierced word
rips the shattered veil
like to like gives answer
echoes in the stillness
of the world-womb
a newly beating heart
