Obsessive Anemology

Always our nature compels us to contemplation of things corporeal

Boreas and his cardinal questions, inciting movement 

Dance the first religion, the swaying of trees under wind

Wind the first and foremost mystery

Comes from where, goes where, unseen but is

Wind as wrath and as deliverance.


On all fours the sticky floors

The palms and soles of Babylon’s whores

Arrival of punctual shambler War

The dance of flags, grim semaphores

Signs and portents, haruspicy, fortunes in gore

The homing throwables of arachnid vores

The guts of kings on the tusks of boars.
