God Dead Dog Poem by David McLean Mathews

god dead dog
aims lips of ooze
fruit of strength
tongue of passion,

dog dead god
of god dead dog.

fog head
stone of deed
wild not wild
broadsmile glistens.
eyes yellow
glaze on mother -
ripple of spark
drives through my
bandaged leather
fire in eye,

dog dead god
of god dead dog.

blown misery
streak of shine
valve & delve
dwell & hell
manic swill
habit of tongue
dipped,
flipped.
great heart,
speck of glisten
ease of proof
of sweet sheet move.
wild acceptance
man of man
titillate,
emancipate.
river of silver
crescent rise,
blow
blow
blow,

dog dead god
of god dead dog.

zing dale bye,
crazed laugh
slipped on essence
driven,
riven,
given to walking
faith live bound.
massive appeal
minds gone flipped
freaked,
seized,
moved throng shamble,
jigged,
frigged.

alive dead dog
hitting shelf
of soul,
brother mole.
monstered image
busted bad
by same dog god
total
total
total,

dog dead god
of god dead dog.

(Glebe Sydney 1992)
