So Watch So watch my flesh decayand see how beautifully it goes;like something asking to be loved;like you, too shy to ask meto your room;marks that will survive are marks on skin and mind:not you with me,not face to face;and only this,a last decaypitching to hide itselfwhen each has gone their way. Cause Under empty skiesair finds no flags;people march but the bannersare burnt; the worldis bleeding into hell,and into hellthe worldbetrayed. My fist is flat,the truth is traded;there is

1 in tight lines a dozen houses line the winter wheat – already: frail bungalows with front lawns, at the village edge; homes, already, transitory as inns, and clamped to a new access road that slices though the down. diggers have quarried the chalk - upended it; torn out the clay beneath -heavy, dark,greasy as abattoir meatembedded with flints,clewingto a long-departed sea. in a web of cul-de-sacs,of silent gardensof chipboard walls history is being forgotten; the land is

ONE Wholly beautiful, this is a remote withdrawn unsaid place; knowing nothing, wisdom held unaided. The volcano, burst, blistered, blasted before time, rises above savannah, autonomous. Nothing of what I have left behind has followed me here: no bars, or clubs, or safari parks swarming with mutinous animals; there are no buildings here,no cables, no pylons, nothing. There is nothing,nothing; there are no roads even, nor walls, bridges, hospitals,barbers, butchers,

A Mystery Poem? History? Fable? Academics are divided. Written hundreds of years ago, by an anonymous author, it outlines a fearful jungle wilderness tamed by kings, and then destroyed, an earthly paradise that imploded through civil unrest and invasion, leading to the complete breakdown of an ancient civilization, that was subsumed again by the jungle – to a point where its present inhabitants had only the sketchiest of recollections of its past.
