I Dreamed My Genesis

I dreamed my genesis and died again, shrapnel<br />
Rammed in the marching heart, hole<br />
In the stitched wound and clotted wind, muzzled<br />
Death on the mouth that ate the gas.<br />
<br />
Sharp in my second death I marked the hills, harvest<br />
Of hemlock and the blades, rust<br />
My blood upon the tempered dead, forcing<br />
My second struggling from the grass.<br />
<br />
I dreamed my genesis in sweat of death, fallen<br />
Twice in the feeding sea, grown<br />
Stale of Adam"s brine until, vision<br />
Of new man strength, I seek the sun.<br />
