Grotesque Empire
Jake writes
from Alabama, there is
no ode to the hawk like the ode
to the hawk, unseen, no ode for this
grotesque empire, no home for anything save
poetry, our hope, no age but this one, our
wars become constant, our death tally grows,
no stupidity like the stupidity of a flag
over the coffin of a young warrior, no border
to compare with the one that fences out a desire
for freedom, a need for peace, no opinion
beyond that given by the young woman who cannot
be herself, or the family
in a food line, or the newly homeless in a land
with grain silos and death silos, no ode but the one
for the wild parrots
here on the hillside, no law
greater than the law of justice for
the animals, for the trees, the streams, the
plants, no way but out
for the empire of Out, no way
but to speak against all murder, no need
greater than the heart
of a poem, no ode to the hawk
like the one to the ocean, no truth
but what we see in the eyes
of everywhere, in the dominion
where no empire
exists save the
one we hold, together
