Raven In The Apple Tree

Because the raven in the apple tree
speaks ancient language of water on rocks
that frame mysterious beauty of the world
in tangled sentences of faithless words
that mirror reverse image of my soul,
I always walk

New Heaven On Earth

The strange star-eyed angel, nobody sees
walking crowded streets of America,
hands out slick pamphlets about Kingdom Come,
to sell illusion of national pride
to Vikings working in car factories
who prefer to build New

World Tree Of Everywhere

Despite slow maladjustment of the mind,
contrived by journal entries of dead trees,
Niskus, son of Neptunus, steals fake coins
from the mad king in cold castle of stone,
and gives them to poor people by the river

Treasury Of Broken Dreams

Though travelers with magic telescopes
may ransack treasury of broken dreams,
we will all gather for Thanksgiving feast
to feed ancestors in the Underworld
who watch our lives in television shows,
then weep when

Shepherd Who Nurtures Sheep

Because his heart begins to atrophy
at how his body writhes with bitter hope,
Thyrsis considers why sheep love to play
in meadow near the oven factory,
then plays heart-wrenching tune of futile love
that will

Volunteer God Of Nowhere

No time traveler from the distant future
would hesitate to play tactical games
with people who claim they are always right
against common sense of state tolerance
though few survive surgery of the heart
since I

Underworld Of Happy Clowns

Stuck in dark underworld of happy clowns,
Achilles buys soda from time machine
that always asks him if he feels all right
because blind ballerina never frowns
though arrogant Ares is always mean
about taxing us

Time Of Broken Clocks

If I am born in time of broken clocks
in log cabin beside the sparkling river,
my heart will crumble into flakes of rust
each time I walk past ticking stone of fate
that drinks the salty tears of fallen angels

Shape Of My Hungry Flesh

If this world of water and wind and light
is all for me, my shadow on its hills,
then I will write my name across the sky,
but keep it secret that I fall from clouds
each day I rise up from soil of its hope
and

First Mother Of Earth

Sitting in church on Sabbath afternoon,
heart beating at reception of weird light
that beams slantwise through window of all time,
I see descend on flaming wings of faith
First Mother of Earth with eyes of bright
