(de)construction
burn the robes the books the philosophers.
from the deck of a great blue barge,
fling their ashes out to sea
and
(in utter unceremony)
undo the silence.
shriek the urns to rubble
howl the stained glass down from the alters
rasp the collection plates into jagged fragments.
life is less
than
leather-bound and monogrammed, less than
impregnated culture swollen with humanity BRE
AK IT DOWN_
we are carbon & light
