in the dream antigone hungers for justice like a child<\/p>\n
needs breakfast after the fever has broken fever so high<\/p>\n
like a fever has stepped on a crack and snapped its own back<\/p>\n
antigone all white robes as they wore back then a rope round<\/p>\n
her waist though she is daughter of a king always daughter<\/p>\n
of the dead king a life defined by ghosts another life defined<\/p>\n
the hunger a wolf clicking its wolf-teeth the father dead<\/p>\n
it is the only taste at the tip of the very very edge<\/p>\n
if you won’t serve it to her serve it here fill her with it<\/p>\n
fill her hungry me poor antigone axed for lack of it<\/p>\n
for saying there is none<\/p>\n
so a man would make a play about there is none<\/p>\n
so you will know there is none<\/p>\n
so the hero of the play can learn something new, true<\/p>\n
and you learn maybe but not antigone (who was right) is<\/p>\n
only need is never satisfied we are never<\/p>\n
i drag bodies around this earth i haul buckets of sand<\/p>\n
toss sand on them, on him, on my true brother<\/p>\n
where tossing sand is best next option but i starve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
