The Operative Lie


The dead await
an opportunity
to propagate, arrest 
the whirling surface 

of the living earth, 
to storm the gate 
to spread their rare 
grey pearl of purpose 

with impunity into 
unfathomable birth, 
but mainly to get fed. 
The operative lie 

is “wait”. They won’t 
arrest the whirl.
They’ll never
storm the gate.
