David Groulx
Who gave me the atom bomb twisted water into mercury perverted God and
Godzilla
I love you baby
who loved my mother until
Tecumseh was slaughtered by Locke on the plains of Abraham
and
buried here on the prairie
beside
Patrice Lumumba
Oh baby you
left me waiting for the revolution
on the reservation and marks on my face
left me to build a nation out of Manichaeism
Come hold me again
with you blood poison apple powdered prescription pills
and sail needles from page to rain hold me tight baby
with
hell in your hand and heaven in your mouth
raise your voice
raise Toussaint L’Overature
like a Lazarus raise us
up from the grave
fifty bucks
or fifty megatons
baby
that’s all we need
bullets and botulism baby
Bring it on
Daddy
give Goliath his gardens back I’ll stop crying
I promise I promise
I’ll give you what you want do your dishes
make you a bed of ashes
have your baby Baby
we can call him Doc
we can feed him the machinations
of a Vodou god and whale fat
tell him a bedtime story
of Heidegger and how his mouth covered the world
of Nietzsche who loved god
built mega-death
and then remembered to love himself Oh Ubermensch
Oh daddy
let us be faithful
to the loathing of furious Saint John’s
incantations to
the flayed streets of Bureij
butcher the lamb & lion butcher of men
butcher baby girls
and raze the graves
of Custer & Middleton
Let’s go to the trains Daddy we can safari the west
and slaughter whatever epicurean ideas that are left there
drink the blood of free settlers and say goodbye to freedom So long Sucker(s)
Goodbye Westbank goodbye Gaza
and cheap Sagamok too!
With one leg longer
and one arm stronger just like queen Victoria
beat down Hegel’s niggers Daddy
We will build a tomb for Prometheus and Disney’s Pocahontas whore
and drag them kicking and screaming
in to it
Remember Poe Daddy Darwish too
the deaths of Tito and Mandelstam I want you Daddy
love me
like you loved Paleolithic
gardens of vomit Mao’s march
and Pinochet’s Chile
Love me Papa wretched red
spread my legs on your pyre kiss me Papa
taste my leviathan tongue my pussy inferno
aches for you
bring your saber raise my hands
bring your soldiers Daddy bring your soldiers
