Der Blinde Junge

The dam Bellona

littered

her eyeless offspring

Kreigsopfer

upon the pavements of Vienna

Sparkling precipitate

the spectral day

involves

the visionless obstacle

this slow blind face

pushing

its virginal nonentity

against the light

Pure purposeless eremite

of centripetal sentience

Upon the carnose horologe of the ego

the vibrant tendon index moves not

since the black lightning desecrated

the retinal altar

Void and extinct

this planet of the soul

strains from the craving throat

in static flight upslanting

A downy youth’s snout

nozzling the sun

drowned in dumbfounded instinct

Listen!

illuminati of the coloured earth

How this expressionless “thing”

blows out damnation and concussive dark

Upon a mouth-organ
