Anthropobscenity

1.
Insurrection rising Epidemic spread When autumn weather turns leaves to flame The end of history shattered Cut-up boarding house mirror Overgrown cracked pavement Dry skin in pooled mercury Frog croaks in silence A silent army Sleeper cells Unmarked cemetery Anonymity of wooded fields and penny arcade peep shows Indigenous uprising Pandemic spread to Capitalism's discontented sons Foreign legion fraternité A second-generation breeding program Platoons raised away from the face of womankind Roses intertwined Dew marked petals Stiff members ejaculate into empty air conjuring spirits from the night Hydrogen bombs split atoms leave time out of joint Silver-grey translucence A face projected upon a face Eyes peer through dead eyes As darkness falls upon ruined suburbs

When the last woman went sterile womb turned outward texture of tanned hide there was rutting in the streets lit by flames of burning buildings, a choir of mourners— professional and amateur— ringing through alleys and boulevards When the final infant was confirmed stillborn we set off the rockets, gorgeous stiff, nuclear phalli beautiful paramount fireworks for the final denouement to come When food turned to famine, we swallowed seed When rains dried to dust we drank piss and sweat and blood and fucked what was left of the old world to death

Young mutant boy, found him in the ruins Skin, alabaster smooth and ruby red All scars and radiation burns Three fingers on the left-hand Seven fingers on the right Ice blue eyes watching from the rubble or some semblance of now rotten DNA compels him The last frayed strand of mammalian instinct Sterile from the radiation But also disease free Diphallic and mute No reason not to fuck Two walking corpses, banging together like pieces of flint in shadowy rubble Blood-flecked spittle on cartographic flesh Black semen between my fingers There's no reason to speak There's nothing left to say
