*APRES SKI


AT THE GATE NO.70
PRIOR TO STARTING IT LONELY
[BY THE SEA AND THE MOUNTAIN
REMEMBER WE CRUISED DOWN
ETERNALLY
STARING UPHILL TO THE PEAK OF THE WORLD
KIND OF SLIDING
[TO HIT THE TREES IN A BOWL OR
YEP ,NOW ON TOP OF THE ROCKS

EVERYTIME THE DOOR OPENED
IT WAS A HALO OF DANCING DEVIL
OR A SHADOW
FALLING HARD ON THE FLOOR
I TOLD YOU TO STAY IN CABIN
BY FRIENDS AND FIRE
SO I CAN GO SALVAGE MORE SOULS
WE VANISHED IN SNOW
WE DIGGED IN ICE AND STORM
COLD BODIES WERE DEFECATING
IN THEIR PANTS
ON CHAIRLIFTS
THEY WERE URINATING ON US
AND THE SKY WAS A BIG SLUICE
THEN YOU AND I SCHUSSED
ON THE RUNNING TRUCK
OF A WILD PIST
TO RUSH TO THE GATE.
IT IS THE GATE NO.70 NOW
WHERE I AM STANDING
WITH NO LIFTS OR TRUCKS
BUT A TRAIL TO SLIDE FURTHER.

I JUST WANT TO SMELL
SOME MORE SUNSETS

HUNTER HOURS

AT THE GATE NO.70

I RECALL GOING OUT

WITH HUNTERS

THEY LEFT ME WITH CLOUDS

AND CAMPFIRE

THEN RUSHED TOWARDS BLOOD

I WAS READING MY LINES AND POINTS

FOR THE VALLEY OF FOG

WHEN I SMELLED DANCING SHADOWS.

WHERE THEY RUNNING AWAY

OR COMING FORTH

FOR FIRE?

I SAID:

"WHEN MARLON GAVE AWAY

ONE OF HIS HILLS

TO INDIANS

APOLOGETICALLY SAID

FORGIVE ME,IT IS A LITTLE LATE

ONLY TWO HUNDRED YEARS."

IT WAS A LONG DAY

THERE WERE NO SMELL OF GUN POWDER

THERE WERE NOT NEWS

OF HUNTERS RETURNING.

WHEN NIGHT FELL

ON VALLEY

SHADOWS WERE GONE

AND I HEARD

HUNTERS COMING BACK

TO DARKNESS

WE TOOK THE NIGHT WITH US

TO A FOREST CABIN

AND SHARED IT WITH THE CHARCOAL BOY

SITTING THERE

LONELY

III

ALL LIGHT IN RIVER AND ROCKS

LIGHT IS EVERYTHING

THAT BRINGS EVERYTHING

TO LIFE.

I WAS GOING WITH LIGHT

IN THE RIVER ROCKS

AND THE RIVER

AND THE ROCKS

WERE TAKING ME

THEN AN ARM ARRIVED

TO PULL ME OUT OF WATER

TO GIVE BACK

LIGHT TO LIFE.

NOW DANCE WITH ME

AT THE GATE NO.70

WHEN THE KING

TALKS JUNGLE TONGUE:

AQUA BATATA
