Gene Soul Ships

 

Genetic code codas packed insecurely 
Into ships of souls, down Charon’s chasms 

Our delicate infinitely complex mutating 
Soul programs mixing intermeshing 

 

 

 

White Sands

 

White sands gust, drift, and whirlwind whipping
Tornadoes of pure colourless desert grains
Goddess twisters contort into a glass isthmus

 

 

 

Everything Evaporate

 

Whirlwind pooling cascading vermillion ions
Of Irish irises into asymmetrical Assyrian 
Travertine pearlescent marble Colonnades 

 

 

 

Vox 

 

Voices upon voices 
Multitudes of domineering  

Tyrannical totalitarian commands
Issue forth from alien gods luscious lips 

Leave this forsaken world become
One with us into the blessed black hole 
Of the beatific immaterial pleroma 

 

 

  

Humanist Gods

 

Humanoid humanist Hume gods
Produce utopia on Earth and Mars 
With Lucifer’s children rebelling
