My voice resounds through robot glove boxes ignotL
cans and echoes in electric vaults inert of atmoJ
sphereB
I enter with spirit out loud into your fuel rod drumsI
underground on soundless thrones and beds ofD
leadL
O density This weightless anthem trumpets transcendentL
through hidden chambers and breaks throughL
iron doors into the Infernal RoomJ
Over your dreadful vibration this measured harmonyC
floats audible these jubilant tones are honey andL
milk and wine sweet waterB
Poured on the stone black floor these syllables areB
barley groats I scatter on the Reactor's coreB
I call your name with hollow vowels I psalm your FateL
close by my breath near deathless ever at yourB
sideL
to Spell your destiny I set this verse prophetic on yourB
mausoleum walls to seal you up Eternally withQ
Diamond Truth O doomed PlutoniumJ

The Bar surveys Plutonian history from midnightL
lit with Mercury Vapor streetlamps till in dawn'sI
early lightL
he contemplates a tranquil politic spaced out betweenC
Nations' thought forms proliferating bureaucraticS
horrific arm'd Satanic industries projected suddenC
with Five Hundred Billion Dollar StrengthT

Colorado before front range of Rocky MountainsI
twelve miles north of Rocky Flats Nuclear Facility inC
United States of North America Western HemiJ

of planet Earth six months and fourteen days aroundL
our Solar System in a Spiral GalaxyC
the local year after Dominion of the last God nineteenC
hundred seventy eightL
Completed as yellow hazed dawn clouds brighten EastL
Denver city white belowL
Blue sky transparent rising empty deep spacious to aF
morning star high over the balconyC
above some autos sat with wheels to curb downhillK
from Flatiron's jagged pine ridgeU
sunlit mountain meadows sloped to rust red sandstoneC
cliffs above brick townhouse roofsI
as sparrows waked whistling through Marine Street'sI
summer green leafed treesI

This ode to you O Poets and Orators to come youL
father Whitman as I join your side you CongressI
and American peopleK
you present meditators spiritual friends teachersI
you O Master of the Diamond ArtsI
Take this wheel of syllables in hand these vowels andL
consonants to breath's endL
take this inhalation of black poison to your heart breathP
out this blessing from your breast on our creationC
forests cities oceans deserts rocky flats and mountainsI
in the Ten Directions pacify with exhalationC
enrich this Plutonian Ode to explode its empty thunderB
through earthen thought worldsI
Magnetize this howl with heartless compassion destroyB
this mountain of Plutonium with ordinary mindL
and body speechV
thus empower this Mind guard spirit gone out goneC
out gone beyond gone beyond me Wake spaceI
so AhW
