The Name of Our Home

by Nathan Smith

IS
ONE
STONE
& the only crime is innocence
or ignorance
of the Law

absolvable by Birth.

Child of Wrath,

if you would not die, then,
take a dive, into the notion

heart of matter /mother
matrix /womb or tomb
where all past life
& would-be things
homage from
such untoward sources:

the incarceral conditions
of the brain in the skull
where it is skooled

or a mind that would mull
like a fool alone & long for

no-place, no place, no place . . .
