Merely To Know

Merely To Know

Because false and true are merely to know 
the swooping elegance of wordless flight, 
then we could carelessly find the sea glow 
extracting wisdom from demonic light 
concealed in book of psychic mystery 
that pretends to record world history. 

Cracked open stone of falling river flash 
reveals inviolate truth the Sibyl bears 
with tartless mind of phenomenal cash 
half-glimpsed by children on unwinding stairs 
who measure lightyears beyond death of time 
to kiss with pulsing heartbeat of each chime. 

Stray thoughts of vastly undeluded hope 
contrive how almost pain is obsolete 
for shadowed virtue of malice to cope 
with nameless clue of misremembered wit 
too late for human beings to unevolve 
so we pray to blatantly circumvolve. 

Staccato speech exact with wandered force 
preserves no proverb mending eager love 
as patient ambience quick untiming source 
expresses how we hide our treasure trove 
in hearts of children springing from our brains 
who mold dark miracles from sudden rains. 

Forever snow of leafless mountain trees 
reflects strange timeless gleam of jagged peaks 
which never bluster condescending breeze 
beautiful with faces that waver creeks 
when we step slowly in cold riffle flow 
since we contend true and false is to know. 

Faithful in frogless ditch of gleaming wait 
when woods explode with shriek of endless crows, 
we lick honey combs to trick eyes of fate, 
if death writes code on quickly melting snows 
radiant with math formulas of huge quarks 
which statues witness not in lampless parks. 

Since face of the moon has shadowless holes 
reborn in fireflies swirling on glass lake, 
we analyze how everything has souls 
which hum soft requiems mordantly fake 
while winds of mountain valleys play charades 
based on economic theories of gods. 

Thus none shall share blind agony of truth 
through convolutions hungry brains employ 
despite increasing symptoms ruling ruth 
pierces honest hearts with grief for lost Troy 
because false and true are merely to know 
how to perform in the last picture show.
