TWO SKULLS

High I climbed
by the breaking sea
that roared upon crags below
high I climbed
seeking the skulls
of men for ornaments

I found a sepulcher
a huge hewn rock
and not knowing why
I turned and sought
the skulls of other men

I found two skeletons
within a cave of death
and claimed their heads
my own for use
as ornaments

I set
these smiling skulls
upon two rocks to bleach
and often I wonder
if they are still
grinning there

A PIN POINT

Earth while dead or alive
shall be your only home
that you can call your own

Until we inhabit the moon
perhaps even mars
or further still the stars
until some distant time

The vast universe
may turn into reverse
and change all we know to be
into a pin point of energy

NO MIND

Nature does not know itself
and it does not care
it does not think at all

For nature does not have
the where with all to think
It has no purpose to be

Only the purpose we assign
erroneously for it has no care
no wish no goal but just to be

It has no care no mind
to be concerned with itself
or with the likes of us
