Handless Girl Of Careless Love

Handless Girl Of Careless Love

Strange arrogance of the blind albatross
who knows the sorrow of capricious loss
reveals how refugees in leaking boats
pass mute sirens where the dead angel floats.

They flee the waste land of our brutal greed
where vampires suck oil from hot sand of need
to drink the blood of Earth till we all die
except the handless girl who cannot cry.

Through swirling mist of terror in moonlight
she gestures for my way to leap in flight
from cliff of faith above the blank abyss
then gazes in my eyes so we may kiss.

I follow glowing sheen of her long hair
that leads forever up the winding stair
till we stand smiling in her tower room
and make love forever in honey gloom.

She leads me to the treeless ocean shore
where refugees from wars wait at locked door
that leads to labyrinth of spurious wealth
still teeming with priests who survive by stealth.

Just as we enter temple of desire
where faceless god teaches secret of fire
nine priests arrest the witch of laughing stars
and force her to attend long seminars.

I fly the airplane of aggressive truth
to prove I am the new messiah sleuth
and bomb cathedrals of the ancient lie
of resurrection in the perfect sky.

On ruins of the church I build new hall
where children calculate songs on the wall
that honors handless girl of careless love
who weaves starlight in neurons of our brains.
