Where Runes Of Odin Gleam

The rancid nonchalance of the blind king
who steals famous paintings from the glass hall
prevents the white iguana with the gun
from breaking the chains that choke Liberty.
The naked man running down the dark street
returns the White Queen of the last chess game
to the laughing wizard in weird cafe
who drinks battery acid from bull horns.
The jester without eyes grabs crippled arm
of Lucy in the sky who falls to Earth
because the airplane shaped like serpent egg
attempts to escape gravity of truth.
The bridge by the fountain of chocolate snow
where rocking horse people laugh without care
connects Fillory to Narnia at last
so Alice takes me back to Wonderland.
Nowhere Man leads her to Strawberry Fields
but she sells flowers on busy roundabout
where Henry the Horse refuses to dance
because she is leaving home without him.
The Egg Man takes me to the broken wall
built between Onatah and Mexico
to show me where the flashing light gets in
through shattered mirror of the dreaming eye.
The Spirit of Wakanda beams lost souls
who wander in my star ship lost in space
to planet of the apes where I was crowned
king of fools before the cathedral tower.
The upstart crow in the Globe Theater
follows Oberon in chariot of fire
who leads the Fairy Queen to Avalon
to find the golden apple of the sun.
I have the key that opens labyrinth door
so when Orpheus rises from the grave
I follow Melusine to the Star Well
where Runes of Odin gleam in the abyss.
We all gather inside walls of Sarum
when the full moon glitters beyond the world
so we exchange our hearts for ticking clocks
that beam dramas on television screens.
