For Allen Ginsberg

"It's like being beat
and down in the world
    like old time low down
It's the beat to keep
It's the beat of the heart
            It's Be at (Bay Aht)"

Hail Holy Ginsberg

Dark cries the night
You came into this world
             -energy-
and left this world
apocalyptic light

I am a part of your
consciousness
You are a part of mine
    the time of days is
    nothing in the "machinery of
night"
Your Poet's soul edified
    the world
    your evocations
    your prayers for mankind
Your super wide open hipster
angelic earthmind is left
    here in words
I sift thru the treasure
I stumble in my youth
and bear my scars with
sanctimony
I will remember the illuminated
prism of your words...dig?
You gotta cut out
            -bye-
