Collected Poems 1947-1997 - Ginsberg Allen (книги серии онлайн .TXT) 📗

               no telephone, the War

                                   rages North

               Police break down the Cross

               Crowds screaming in the streets—

          on Pacific cliff-edge

Sheri Martinelli’s little house with combs and shells

      Since February fear, she saw LSD

          Zodiac in earth grass, stood

          palm to cheek, scraped her toe

               looking aside, & said

               “Too disturbed to see you

               old friend w/ so much Power”

               —ten years later.

      Yajalon valley, bougainvillea flares

               against the Mayor’s house—

Jack you remember the afternoon

          Xochimilco with Fairies?

      Green paradise boats

                    flower laden poled upriver

          Pulque in the poop

               stringed music in air—

                         drunkenness, & happiness

               anonymous

                    fellows without care from America—

                         Now war moves my mind—

          Villahermosa full of purple flowers

          Merida hath cathedral & cheap hotels

                    —boat to Isla Cosumel

               Julius can wander thru Fijijiapan

          forgetting his dog peso Nicotinic Acid—

Bus seat’s white light shines on Mexico map,

          quietness, quietness over countryside

          palmfrond insects, cactus ganja

      & Washington’s Police 5 thousand miles away?

      Ray Charles singing from hospital

                    “Let’s go get stoned.”

Durango-Mazatlan road’s built over

      Sierra Madre’s moon valleys now

Children with quartz jewels climbing highway cliff-edge

               Jack you bought crystals & beer—

      Old houses in Panama City

          La Barranca gray canyon under Guadalajara,

                    Tepic for more candy.

I wanna go out in a car

      not leave word where I’m going—

                    travel ahead.

Or Himalayas in Spring

      following the pilgrim’s path

               10,000 Hindus

                         to Shiva temples North

               Rishikesh & Laxman Jula

               Homage to Shivananda,

                              the Guru heart—

thru green canyons, Ganges gorge—

               carrying a waterpot

               to Kedernath & Badrinath

               & Gangotri in the ice

               —Manasarovar forbidden,

                    Kailash forbidden,

               the Chinese eat Tibet.

Howl for them that suffer broken bone

                    homeless on moody balconies

      Jack’s voice returning to me over & over

                              with prophecy

      “Howl for boys sleeping hungry on tables in cafes with their long hair

                    to the sea” in Hidalgo de Parral,

                              Hermosillo & Tetuan—

The masses prepare for war

      short haired mad executives

          young flops from college

      yellow & pink flesh gone mad

          listening to radio news.

& Johnson was angry with Fulbright

          for criticizing his war.

And Hart Crane’s myth and Whitman’s—

          What’ll happen to that?

                              The Karma

accumulated bombing Vietnam

          The Karma bodies napalm-burned

               Karma suspicion

      where machinery’s smelt the heat of bodies trembling

                         in the jungle

The Karma of bullets in the back of the head by thatched walls

          The Karma of babies in their mothers’ arms

                         bawling destroyed

The Karma of populations moved from center to center of

                                        Detention

      Karma of bribery, Karma blood-money

          Must come home to America,

          There must be a war

               America has builded herself a new body.

Peaceful young men in America get out of the Cities & go to

                         the countryside & the trees—

Bearded young men in America hide your hair & shave your

                         beards & disappear

          The destroyers are out to destroy—

          Destroyers of Peking & Washington stare face to face
