Libretto (excerpt):

(In less than five minutes)

Within basidia of hymenium
and moraine of Karachi

in whale calfs' unborn barnacles
or over shallow end
of a small vernacular gravel
of some Northwestern town
in the country
of Romani ground

eighteen wreck DEAD
buried
remains
count
down.


(In time, quite soon)

When you're all no longer here
'xcept some dusty sludge

in a paddle strained of smog
or of human stinky wet
your particles snowing down
amid the wooden planks
in the floors
of your homes

thirteen DEAD
buried
remains
kick
off.


(In a while)

When the times arrive
of no torso corpse

in a tombless land
only leftovers
disperse their turns
in the solids
underground
yet always over

fifty DEAD
buried
remains
out
set.


(Very soon)

In borers walks
over man's veins

spread from
Diabal to Maine
devoured
by linches
on bloody
wood

DEAD
buried
remains
birth
bow.


(Now)

Leave on
within

among end
and by
now
good
by
now

DEAD
buried
remains
now
grow.
