Through a Lens of Cracked Eternity

Peter Magliocco

When they went
To the john
Seeking
The arc of rap heaven
They never saw
Listening
To mouth harps,

Wailing ways
For collective
Unconscious hearts
Opening
Laser knives
To suture
A suite of ventricles,

Or pulsing out rhyme
Our witch doctors
Failed to excise
Your taboos
Vulgarly
Entwined
Together,

Overshadowed by
Media reports
Of war dead
With those
Female soldiers
Smiling
Through a

Bullet-holed lens
Of cracked
Eternity, then
You saw
The peephole
Of god
Vanish.
