I often dream of huge numb buildings,
jet-black sinister architecture
being installed when nobody sees,
their appearance so sudden
that few would take notice

And when I wake up
I imagine being crushed by one,
imagining its weight, its silence
and the absence of excuses for a havoced life,
and the privilege of a 22-kilometre tombstone

(Jotun!)

A body of black
that carried no reflection,
defying its own room
Un-earthly eggs of decreation

There would be colonies
mushroom-scattered forever out of context,
rising spores from a dying world
to pollute, to chase away what's left

Sun-white pulverised desert stone
and serpentine lizard mouths
Pales away the pyramids,
rewriting 4500 years of history,
raping the statue of liberty,
outplays the acropolis,
inverting the fjords,
invades the NY skyline to
dream its own existence in one single final word:

(Jotun!)

A body of black
that carried no reflection,
defying its own room
Un-earthly eggs of decreation

Can we identify them
as the flint buried in our reptile skulls
or the time-bomb coded in our DNA?
