Excerpts from The North American Book of the Dead by d.a. levy:
_______________________________________________________________


Excerpt #1
_______________________________________________________________

THEY ARE KILLING ME SLOWLY
THEY ARE KILLING ME SLOWING
& i don't know how they are doing it
when i walk down
the winter steps
i can feel the sickness
enter my boots
and the slow decay
licking my eye
and there are times
when even anger
is too much of an effort
and still
in one last infinite
act of defiance
i wait for light
& words dissolve
as the strands of the mind tantra
are slowly drawn
tighter and tighter


Excerpt #2
_______________________________________________________________

when riding the winter pony
one
leaves
a trail of bells
softly ringing
deep in the mind

& if one listens
perhaps this sound
will guide
the young rider through the
falling
snow


Excerpt #3
_______________________________________________________________

in the quiet place
roars the ocean water
the ocean is silent
a child calling is answered
with laughter is absolute silence
in the quiet place
are clouds moving
the sound of the sun
the sound of the moon
is absolute silence
in the quiet place
are clouds moving


Excerpt #4
_______________________________________________________________

SHE is there in darkness
no light
the feeling is anguish
it is so cold i do not even try to
warm her (i have forgotten how)
i become the cold
i become the anguish
i can not see the eye but it is open
i can not sleep
when we meet
the searchlights are eyes
but it is the eye that sees
when we meet
the searchlights are open
when we meet
the searchlights are open


Excerpt #5
_______________________________________________________________

i feel the trembling
as my identity approaches
& i grab my pen
to write - raining
somewhere
the rain like
my pacing about the room
i take a long walk in
the wind rain


Excerpt #6
_______________________________________________________________

my entire being becomes
a death ship
a weight i carry
curiously wondering
what it is i drag around & what
is the "i" that keeps this piece
of matter moving
when i place
my hands on my head
i feel new veigns throbbing
then fall into the
dream between staying
& leaving -
find myself sitting in a
roomful of dream friends
its a dream
i know it
yet i am still aware
of the distance traveled
and the throbbing in my head
