Ever On Nowhere Road

Forever and ever on nowhere road 
we travel past swamp of the royal toad, 
four generations of my sprawling clan 
who eat fried corn cakes from one old cracked pan, 
and somewhere lonely on the treeless plain 
I water the horses and wait for rain. 

Perhaps the world will end in nowhere land 
while I wait with burning book in my hand 
for ghost of my lover to tell me why 
flames of salvation swirl from empty sky, 
so my clan sits at the table to feast 
on still-pulsing heart of the hungry beast. 

Beginning with words of the nowhere dream 
that floods our wheat fields from demonic stream, 
I instruct my children to clean the mirror 
so they can hide in the shadow of terror 
when snarling men with guns surround our home 
though we pray for the holy right to roam. 

Alone at table of our nowhere place, 
I pour glass of milk for the godless face 
that shines with terrible victory of truth 
since I sell apples at our market booth 
in retribution for sorrow of time 
that vanishes with soft ring of the chime. 

My hand may seem to block the nowhere sun 
with bold adjustment of the haughty gun, 
yet I embrace their corpses in deep graves 
while our blind grandmother sings Jesus saves, 
but I keep bullets I clawed from their hearts 
in case the arrogant angel departs. 

Though I still remember the nowhere sky 
that I was born under from the sad spy, 
I keep long stories of dead relatives 
hidden in the box which Pandora gives 
so I can talk to their ghosts in this room 
who struggle from our universal womb. 

Deep in swirling light of the nowhere sea 
I find true origin of the gene key 
which formulates motion of conscious faith 
to generate life from the atom wraith 
who teaches me language of the star soul 
that explains mind function of the White Whole. 

Forever and ever on nowhere road, 
designed by thought riddles of our brain code, 
I walk alone with my ancestral ghosts 
who teach me duty of good temple hosts, 
so I fight tyrants who oppress mankind 
with holy mission my mother assigned.
