Ghost Of Shimmer-Thought

When I kneel at fern-wreathed curb of the well
to see strange whiteness Robert once discerned,
I see no godlike ghost of shimmer-thought
behind mask of my simple mortal face,
so I pretend with smirk of innocence

Wings Of Tranquil Honesty

Distantly arriving at nonsense now
with the old book that wants to read itself,
I ask nobody why we are alive,
then drink apple juice on the broken rock,
so I can take stock of the world today,
Nature serene

Why We Are Alive

In snow-filled library of Elysium,
Sibylla gazes in black crystal ball
that models white whole of our universe
in spiral swirls of flashing galaxies,
then gazes in my heart with sea-green eyes
so I understand why we are

Hidden Land Of Havilah

While wandering along asphalt highway
somewhere between Seattle and Miami,
I turn aside in unmapped wilderness
to follow Pishon River of my heart
till I find hidden land of Havilah
where dead trees of Eden lurk in

Blinded By Epiphanies

I refuse to admit with steel-eyed pride
my mind has been blown by epiphanies,
so I walk down to where the sad bears hide
to engage in psychic polyphonies
for angels wearing masks with devil smirks
who hide in

Establish Secure Home

In service to strange country that I love
I fix broke traffic lights on road of life
to ensure moral signals of behavior
function with fair assessment of our need
to flow in harmony with every soul
fixated on secret

Janus Guard Of Paradise

When Janus is five years old he arrives
at the great gold gates that guard paradise,
and he is so entranced by graceful curls
of liquid metal forged to mimic vines
that he dwells sixty years before the gates,

War-Shattered Eden

If trees keeping telling me the wind loves flight
that sparks my brain alert to dangerous hope,
then I may have to walk across the clouds
and scatter apple seeds on asphalt roads
to break monopoly of hungry greed
that

Blue Bird Of Bitterness

Plodding along in vast maze of my life
with passionate boredom of contrived faith,
I sing with the blue bird of bitterness
whose melodies calculate happiness
which raises our ancestors from dark graves
so we can
