Book of the Fallen Blood Moon


NOTE: Book of the Fallen Blood Moon is just a writing experiment in the WSB cut-up method. 
I had started a surrealistic story about a young girl in a green boat outside of cultural categories of reality and ended up hating it and decided to cut the page into two parts and tape it back together and re-write it and consequently started to like parts of it. Still not done, here is part 7 and 8. Don't look for any deep meaning because there is none.... 

Book of the Fallen Blood Moon

Chapter 8: Return of the Eagle

And in your heart all over the cold city, and the swing and the moon you loved and cried out to
When she broke, when she broke and the hollow park called out to sweet death from that place
Fallen black wings and horns and the many cigarettes and the night’s light’s all around you
The ancient overgrown cemetery watching the thousands come and go, smoking and crying out
From the darkness and one day that just faded and her illusion reappeared to take away your pain

But it never did, it never does, and the pain and the pressure to be loved grew and gnawed away
And then the pattern was seen and eventually she was someone else, always out of reach
So we make do and fool ourselves with words again and again and again, pigeons with swords
And then you never even noticed it happening but it happened, it happens if you persevere
And it captured something inside of yourself and faded away into you

Looked for and always there floating away out of reach is the way it has always worked
And now she is never seen and never lost having become one with you, the angel and her violin
Her hand extended towards yours over the still water, staying into the dusk with the loons
But still out of reach of the little green boat; floating, shimmering, living in the silver water
Of waves ever-present, complex and tangled, intermingled with the thoughts we believe in

Into her mind where the cars fell up mountain water and fire burned in a ball of blue flame
Her hand streaked through the air and landed on a beam of blue bird, sailing away with time
Long yellow tail feathers trailing exotic and iridescent, cutting paths in the ancient woods
She was fiery hard smooth brown wood without scratches, like moss and eons of flowers
And she became eagle flying far above the ground, free & unmade from all human creations

The eagle flew into the clouds and disappeared and in its place emerged one of the furies

She hated all men and her fierce yellow eyes burned with hatred and contempt for all things
From above they paraded their ugly arrogant heads, symbols born aloft and the blood would pool
She would swoop down and carve a deep red gouge in their lives with delight and scream last
While they ran around squawking in true mortal fear of the truth and it spilled into their eyes
And she would laugh and know unless opposed, they would turn her world to ruinous ashes

And she would fly onto the deep forest green last, blind and crying out helplessly like babies
Filling their ears and luring them to the edge of the precipice grass and whisper like a friend
And into their human hands against the cool lava of empty space until they floundered in blood
Flapping and waving their arms about and screaming into a black abyss crawling with gravity
And its black hand would reach up and pull them into annihilation, blotted out by yellow light

She always took out the guilty first and left the bugs to devour them
and they deserved it
and she left the innocent to die by their own hand or be ravaged by the goddess bitch of time
