Since I can plumb the sinking of my soul 
in heat that sinews my abolished will, 
I will not cherish struggle to retreat 
against wild burning of eternal beat 
that teaches me to love beauty of Death 
whose energy recalculates dream math. 

I see our sky ascending black as light 
with startled judgment of attentive right 
above brick buildings on the rugged hill 
that twists stark epitaph of rainbow will 
against hosannah cries of bitter fear 
that highlights process of the river gear. 

If roots of wild ingrafted olive trees 
should wither at harsh breath of winter breeze 
I scale dire revelation of my heart 
with arcane code of wisdom on star chart 
which I consult to prophesy in code 
fall of our empire on the signless road. 

Yet night enchants ghost lion in blue glass 
that shields my heart from haughtiness of class 
to coil my soul in portrait of my brain 
wound tight in telescope of spirit gain 
that dulls excessive pain of wind-stung eyes 
concealed by mirror of time-fractured skies. 

No mountain in this world is now unscaled 
by ancient sages who have never failed 
to light bold hearth of science with respect 
defined by gorgeous flash of intellect 
so we may journey to the Promised Land 
found on no map composed by human hand. 

Still no miscarriage of my fertile brain, 
she gathers books to categorize gain 
against assertive reach of mad fame 
by choosing not to bandage wound with name 
that speaks with querulous voice of concern 
for how bitter men steal books to burn. 

Ephemeral music of our savage skies 
teaches children that every creature dies 
with graceful paranoia stricken weird 
by tearful knowledge of the disappeared 
who auction memories in the temple hall 
in fair exchange for coins earned at the ball. 

Monotony of vision mirrors hope 
exchanged for childhood tricks on how to cope 
despite my stature as calm nihilist 
convinced by theory of the Narcissist 
that we may bear unchanging scroll of truth 
contrived by office of messiah sleuth. 

Wordless Wonder Of Why

Wordless Wonder Of Why

2026 02 16

I sometimes forget I am still alive 
so I open the door that goes nowhere 
and walk somewhere else I think I should be 
then stand for some time on the nowhere spot 
to think about nothing but warm sunlight 
that molds my soul from words I never speak. 

I remember with sudden flash of fear 
that I should be somewhere else about now 
so I run gasping for breath of the cloud 
through shadows of trees that call out to me 
but I stop by the pool of silver light 
and wonder if I have some kind of name. 

I may not be real as I think I am 
so I keep walking to the secret place 
while asking the bird with arrogant wings 
if anyone has the same face as me 
but she explains that I am made of rain 
so I hop and flap my arms to be real. 

I almost forget I want to transcend 
this fragile body that gets tired and hurt 
till I trip over the innocent stone 
which contains the secret name I should have 
so I caress rough surface of its mind 
till I become its true stillness of strength. 

I try to record visions of my eyes 
with marks I draw in soft dirt of the world 
but sudden gust of wind from black clouds 
erases memories of who I should be 
so I stand and walk toward the glowing beam 
that teleports me to top of the world. 

I look backward into shadowy woods 
and listen for creak of demonic trees 
that teach me how to speak words of my thoughts 
then turn forward to walk into the sky 
but I fall to my knees and laugh surprised 
at vast roundness of the world I perceive. 

I stand on top of the high mountain peak 
and reach my arms to touch the silver light 
then turn slowly around on trembling feet 
to feel endless rolling hills of green trees 
surrounded by silver shimmer of seas 
that understand wild beating of my heart. 

I howl loud with wordless wonder of why 
at awesome beauty of the turning world 
that gleams in writhing passion of my soul 
because my pulsing body is amazed 
that I am still alive with ache of love 
without concern that I will someday die.

While on my quest to find the Holy Grail, 
hitchhiking far across this crazy land, 
I almost trip over long dragon tail 
that teleports my soul to Samarkand. 
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly 
around this world shaped like a giant eye. 

For deep inside my heart I hear the voice 
of humankind cry out for joyful peace 
because we make our fate with every choice 
since Plato pondered life in sunlit Greece. 
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly 
around this world shaped like a giant eye. 

Yet when the mighty wind of change blows wild 
across our land from sea to shining sea 
we rise with spirit of the newborn child 
and shape this land so everyone lives free. 
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly 
around this world shaped like a giant eye. 

Young wizard on the winding diamond road 
lifts ladder of brave opportunity 
so when hard rain falls at hum of the toad 
we bind all tribes in one community. 
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly 
around this world shaped like a giant eye. 

I travel with guitar of Mercury 
and sing in every town of working folk 
to cast bright vision with dream sorcery 
converting minds to lifestyle of the Woke. 
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly 
around this world shaped like a giant eye. 

Though sea of tears divides our lonely hearts 
we build global Bridge of Togetherness 
so rainbows shining on our psychic charts 
guide us to meadow of the shepherdess. 
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly 
around this world shaped like a giant eye. 

Long after empire of America 
falls from our disillusionment in truth, 
we gather in feast hall of Onatah 
where we vote for our new messiah sleuth. 
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly 
around this world shaped like a giant eye. 

Though I am lost in land of Zathamar, 
Seattle to Miami on the road, 
my soul transforms into the Morning Star 
from eating mushroom of the Buddha Toad. 
With ancient wings of Icarus I fly 
around this world shaped like a giant eye. 

Redesign God As Robot

Redesign God As Robot

2026 02 15

Secret encounter with the howling rock 
excites regret for stealing ocean waves 
and selling them to black horse of the moon 
who always seems to know what words I eat 
with slavish laughter of marvelous dusk 
depicted by rupestral mask of life. 

Frail darkness of my voice fills void of hope 
with blazing cities stuck on jagged cliffs 
through my irresistible zeal concealed 
by stamps of genetic inheritance 
born from resplendent force of purity 
despite victorious angst of smoking swamps. 

Delicious dearth of dream-partitioned walls 
decides with sudden rain of screaming lamps 
to mimic fortitude dead angels share 
with bitter gods of non-eternal light 
who steal hot loaves of bread for nobody 
except to play chess in the smoking swamp. 

Now that Beauty shall be moral again 
we stand before the seething vat of ghosts 
who should wear delicate masks with pink lace 
if they return to forest of respect 
where wicked angels aim guns at their heads 
because they want to eat her apple pies. 

Untraceable stains of insulting sneers 
express continuum of harmful jokes 
disjointed from assertive rage at strength 
displayed by angels who resist their hate 
by walking quietly down small-town road 
because love is meat and drink of the heart. 

Difficult hour I shall make friends with Death 
decries strict resolution sold for peace 
through backward release of unfractured air 
unlocked by egregious snow of despair 
which depends on blood that spurts from our eyes 
by hangers that clatter on ice-slicked floors. 

Aspen tree tangled with barbed wire of fear 
calls for his yellow-haired mother of time 
to come home on the star-stripped road of fate 
at creak of rusty hinges on sad doors 
that rip her heart with agony of faith 
trapped by disappearing words of contempt. 

If we look Trickery in his rancid eye 
with eager bitterness to buy his lies 
we could fire guns at angels in the sky 
who drink bitter tears of electric spies 
since everything we thought was true is not, 
unless we redesign God as Robot. 

Wet Patio Of Time

Wet Patio Of Time

Twinkle of raindrops on patio planks 
wakes memories of weird dramatic scenes 
that her ancestors once experienced 
for millions of years on this turning globe 
when they sat in silence of everywhere 
on timeless afternoons of falling rain. 

Shadows of old memories from her life 
stretch bright across wet patio of time 
that echoes laughter of wind-swirling leaves 
to veil warm sunshine of her lonely smile 
that glows in garden of forgotten books 
where all sad stories of dead humans hide. 

She sighs that eager children of her heart 
have scattered far across the fertile land 
as seeds blown by indifferent wind of change 
that sprout in families with unknown names 
who cherish their own memories of life 
where she is ghost of absence none can see. 

Awake with mute complacency of love, 
she tries to play observer of their play 
with patient nonchalance of bitter hope, 
yet finds in space between unspoken words 
compassion for young strangers of her clan 
with love that sheds fierce urgency of hope. 

Holding small leather Bible in pale hands, 
she walks in black shoes and long yellow dress 
on dirt road to white church on the lake shore 
where child of the sky hides inside the oak 
and writes poems in alphabet he designed 
with blood of dragons on frail autumn leaves. 

Though she knows without a doubt in her heart 
that the child of the sky inside the oak 
is father of her mother she once met 
when he was old as the bent withered oak, 
so she tries to remember his true name 
but all she can think about his Hengist. 

Dark stranger on the shore calls out her name, 
inquiring if she might have any tears 
of wordless sorrow to sell for the cow, 
so she lays flower wreath on its large head 
and parades through town to Scarborough Fair 
where she was his true love who still lives there. 

If she gets trapped in the internet game 
transforming beauty from innocent tears, 
she might ask statue of Apollo how 
to find the street where angels fear to tread, 
then laughs because life has become absurd 
as computer code of the happy bird. 

Awake In Blue Rain

Awake in blue rain of horrible hope, 
I whisper name of every soul who lived 
on every planet in our universe 
to keep alive brave spirit of their heart 
that gleams with first flash of the white-whole light 
which flashes bright in neurons of my brain. 

Awake in blue rain of innocent fear, 
I walk the endless maze of psychic myths 
to chat with idol of every dead god 
ever worshipped by tribes of hungry folk, 
who live reborn in children of their genes 
in tangled web of human families. 

Awake in blue rain of psychotic peace, 
I stand on ziggurat of the God Eye 
with compassion for every conscious soul 
who follows guiding star of their desire 
which weaves their fate with every choice they make 
to generate new life before they die. 

Awake in blue rain of arrogant faith, 
I host communal feast of loyal friends 
in grand cathedral of angelic love 
contrived from doctrine of demonic hate 
that binds our minds with world religious rites 
presenting heroes who succeed or fail. 

Awake in blue rain of marvelous mirth, 
I wear the shining mask of Lucifer 
to walk crowded cities of Zathamar 
with brilliant lamp of wise Diogenes 
while guiding refugees from civil wars 
across the waste land to new Wonderland. 

Awake in blue rain of frantic desire, 
I wield the lightning bolt of Jupiter 
to fight the tyrant who exploits the people 
and rescue Rapunzel from golden tower 
so she sells apples in the market place 
where Phoebus helps Justice manage world life. 

Awake in blue rain of pleasurable pain, 
I bear the holy grail of Guinevere, 
forged by hands of Jesus, the Fisher King, 
through incarnation of his first-born child, 
the star-eyed Mermaid with divine blue blood 
whose spirit animates my social hymn. 

Awake in blue rain of glamorous gloom, 
I strum the sacred lyre of Mercury 
and sing epic poem of philosophers 
who laid foundation of our world empire 
preserved in creed of Academia 
to build world view on truth, not fantasy. 

We Rebuild Our State

We Rebuild Our State

2026 02 14

Once I break on through to the other side 
and dance in doorway of eternity, 
I float in blissful consciousness of pain 
as bright electric snow of spirit gain, 
then sing new world view for modernity 
that sparks pure laughter of our humble pride. 

She asks me where I live with river voice, 
so I build highways sea to shining sea 
that link all cities in vast maze of souls 
awake with joy of oscillating roles 
between vast emptiness of light we see 
because we weave our fate with every choice. 

We dwell in holy land of Zathamar 
with brave attention of community 
that we join hands and hearts with honest faith 
and guard our fellow citizens with ruth 
based firm on social opportunity 
despite dictatorship of Belshazzar. 

We float on ocean of one global mind 
with earnest wisdom of dynamic change 
encrypting dream code with fantastic tune 
to open wide perceptive door of soon 
through sudden renaissance of perfect strange 
contingent on weird contract Phoebus signed. 

Intrusive measurement of tethered light 
exposes romance of intense surprise 
we share while watching fearful castles fall 
at subtle psalm that chronicles weird call 
contrived to explicate our mirror eyes 
so we learn how to calculate the right. 

If we break free from arrogant dismay 
at serpent song of pine trees on the ridge, 
we might see Helios create the wheel 
in time to understand how we should feel 
while dancing on frail sorrow of the bridge 
that fools is into learning how to pray. 

Because doors of perception reveal truth 
recorded on gold scrolls by cosmic herald, 
our eyes perceive ideas forming things 
that channel energy through horcrux rings 
which we employ at stage we are imperiled 
to vote as president messiah sleuth. 

Confused by joke of ardent tragedy 
unspooling fortunes gambled for by time, 
we all unite our individual goals 
to guard our neighbors from aggressive trolls 
who earnestly repent of evil crime 
as we rebuild our state through comedy. 

Queen Juno Sospita

Billions of voices whisper in the dark, 
expressing emotions that beat our hearts 
with wild atomic passion of desire 
to explain vision of the world we see, 
and how we hope to play our chosen role 
in global drama we create as fate. 

I try to hear what each voice has to say, 
to focus on conception of their mind 
beamed by descriptive stream of sentences 
so I may comprehend vision of truth 
that glows as virtual model of the world 
in pulsing framework of their fragile brain. 

Their individual voices, trickling bright 
as single rivulets of private thought 
that curl down verbal fields of mountain slopes, 
merge together in larger flow of dreams 
to blend in world view everybody shares 
till all our different views form one great sea. 

With deft hands trained by Muse of lyric voice 
I weave eight billion threads of conscious minds 
in global tapestry of human hope 
so all our special colors intertwined 
depict with honor Mother of Mankind 
embodied by Queen Juno Sospita. 

Our Savior Mother Queen with gleaming eyes, 
who wears goatskin cap with strength-curling horns, 
brandishes brass spear with emerald blade, 
and shakes long sun-drenched tresses with pizzaz 
while dancing on porch of her temple hall 
to melody that Phoebus strums with joy. 

Our many voices blend in one great cry 
that swells with brutal ecstasy of faith 
while we leap high toward Glow Cloud of respect 
through bold transfiguration of our souls 
from individuals desperate to survive 
to commune bonding with vision we share. 

I stand alone on cloud-veiled mountain peak, 
arms spread with joy as wings of Icarus 
to sing my truth with private voice of hope 
that channels voices of humanity 
so all conflicting dreams blend in one dream 
where every soul shares Earth as our great home. 

Because I disappear in teeming crowd 
and lose my self in vast humanity, 
I find my true self deep inside my heart 
designed by First Mother all humans share, 
for Juno Sospita wakes in us all, 
brothers and sisters on one turning world. 

Under Indifferent Stars

Despite regret for how life has panned out, 
based on each strange choice he refused to make, 
half-blind Wagat limps on hot river shore 
to ask Willow Witch secret of true love, 
but her skeleton lies tangled in roots 
though her young ghost still shines bright in the sun. 

Squinting through half-blind eyes of lethargy, 
Wagat imagines in haze of despair 
that he sees three tall angels in white robes 
bearing swords of flame that glint in their hands 
as they float down from hot-air balloon disk 
and speak to him with celestial thoughts. 

Grumbling in his short guttural speech of fear, 
Wagat explains to divine messengers, 
who came down from glorious clouds of light, 
that his housemate Willow Witch died last month 
and her body dissolved in tangled roots, 
but her soul should dwell in the clouds with them. 

The tallest angel with long golden hair 
explains with ethereal voice of soft wind 
that chimes with sweetness of morning birdsong 
how the world of land and water was made 
by hand of Lightning Ghost in thunder clouds, 
or so Wagat imagines he might say. 

Gasping in shock as tall angels of light 
bind his body with thick harness like theirs, 
Wagat wriggles to escape as he shouts 
when they all ascend high above the field, 
and the willow tree shrinks small as a bush 
beside the broad river that sparkles blue. 

Peering up at vast blue sky of Glow Clouds, 
Wagat sees disk of the hot-air balloon 
shudder in sudden gusts of freezing wind, 
and he howls to see the great mountain peak 
that always loomed high where the sun-eye glows 
now jut below his feet as they drift past. 

Gasping for breath as he tries to stay calm, 
Wagat stares surprised at towers of stone 
that gleam on the cliff high above the sea, 
vast maze of streets full of people and carts 
which appear to him like ants in stream beds, 
till they land on plat of the pyramid. 

Trembling as he walks with angels in streets, 
Wagat hopes to meet his lost Willow Witch 
in halls of Heaven she told him about, 
but they teach him how to pull two-wheeled cart 
so he works each day taking trash away, 
then cries each night under indifferent stars.

When sunlight at dawn glitters in my eye 
I rise from the Earth and walk in the sky. 
I wander the roadless plain by the sea 
and drift with the wind that wafts my soul free. 
The ocean tells me, wherever I roam 
I am not lost for my heart is my home. 

With warm glitter of sunlight in my heart 
I stride across the world without star chart. 
I gather apples in basket of hope 
from deep-rooted tree on the mountain slope. 
The mountain tells me, wherever I roam 
I am not lost for my heart is my home. 

I spark new fire in ashes of my dream 
and roast fish I catch from the flashing stream. 
I hum in harmony with the moon chime 
to measure constant flowing of breath time. 
The river tells me, wherever I roam 
I am not lost for my heart is my home. 

To mimic rolling circle of the sun 
I bend steamed wood into wheel of the dawn. 
With soul of Helius, my father, in me 
I journey in wagon toward the Great Tree. 
The Glow Cloud tells me, wherever I roam 
I am not lost for my heart is my home. 

Sinews Of Electric Words

Sinews Of Electric Words

She weaves references of angelic stones 
in tangled sinews of electric words 
beyond comprehension of mortal minds 
which sparkle with frozen sheen of brave rain 
so I may witness suffering of mankind 
in tales erased from archive of our hearts. 

Filled with shy conviction of earnest faith, 
she strides with rebellion of untamed song 
down pathway of unspeakable respect 
against foundational effort of hope 
to discipline her uncontrollable mind 
trapped in dire narrative of tragic love. 

Notching arrow of truth in bow of love, 
she fires intense trajectory of change 
across attentive hollow of lost time 
composed of history angels never share 
with borrowed words of honest travesty 
that threaten frail security of faith. 

Obsessive passion for relating truth, 
which should examine brutal hours of fear, 
writhes from locked archive of hungry hearts 
to crawl on wounded breast explicitly 
down centuries of manufactured lies, 
then lies in mystic ruins of half-burned books. 

Reductive code of illegible dreams 
still urges me to explore shadowed wood 
with twisted curiosity of tunes 
which unify disjointed claims of trees 
choosing to array both present and past 
through coexistence of ghosts in my brain. 

Inspired by stars she names with whispered voice, 
she chases echoes of misaligned thoughts, 
exposing lies of painters who despise 
false wholeness of virtual reality 
contrived to imitate national myths 
translating jokes from penitential cries. 

Hushed willows anchored in glow of weird eyes 
betray her safety with bold promises 
based on ruthless energy of contempt 
bound by urgent expectations we sell 
through coopted struggle of emptiness 
that leaves us stranded on cold roadless plain. 

Debased by facts of cruel modernity, 
our grandest university of truth 
decays from corporate comedy of greed 
though hearts beat rapidly with holy pride 
when anxious Orpheus pounds at the wall 
while chewing rotten alphabets of dreams.

assigned by Jove to guard the Holy Grail, 
I wear computer mask of Lucifer 
to play my role as prophet in Dream Tower 
who studies psychic riddle of Brain Flower 
while limping toward Heaven with Book of Ghosts. 

Still crazy after years of wandering woke 
on quest to find lost sword Excalibur, 
I give star-jeweled crown to Guinevere 
with pledge to maintain world democracy 
in holy crusade against tyranny 
while limping toward Heaven with Sword of Right. 

Awake from timeless dream as Sirius, 
startled by weird beauty of this strange world, 
I emerge from bottomless Well of Light 
to channel Sibyl Soul of Melusine 
so I can calculate when empires fall 
while limping toward Heaven with Scales of Truth. 

Alert with Wand of Zambor in my heart 
as Watcher in Tower of the God Eye, 
I find Rocket Boots that Charlemagne wore 
so I can fly with Wings of Icarus 
above sprawling cities of Zathamar 
while limping toward Heaven with Skull of God. 

Shocked by return of Satan on world stage 
disguised as presidents of super-states, 
I carry Lyre of Mercury with care 
to sing dire prophecies on city streets 
with Voice of Cassandra no one can hear 
while limping toward Heaven with Harp of Hope. 

Trained by Orpheus to lead refugees 
from war-torn lands to Elysian Fields, 
I ask shy Ophelia to marry me 
so she bakes large turkey and pumpkin pie 
when we celebrate Thanksgiving in Hell 
while limping toward Heaven with Horn of Fate. 

Reborn from Ishtar as Astarius, 
bright incarnation of the Morning Star, 
I rebuild Empire of Meroveus 
which I name for Mother Gothinia 
and rule from Fruit Garden of Scythia 
while limping toward Heaven with Bow of Faith. 

Planting apple seeds on lush river shores 
while riding Pegasus on Wings of Wind, 
I learn to build wheeled cart from Helius 
then drive west to Cave of Solaria 
with soul of Phoebus singing in my heart 
while limping toward Heaven through Maze of Myths.

to bind opposing forces of desire 
in tender fabric of outrageous faith 
that strengthens truth in land of Zathamar. 

Jumping in dream book of arrogant fear 
through fractal blooming of my wounded heart, 
I search dark caves of Hell for faceless ghost 
who understands how seeds sprout into trees 
so we can rebuild paradise of peace 
that brokers wealth in land of Zathamar. 

Jumping in dream book of obvious facts 
through research measuring ethereal breath, 
I float above world television tube 
with psychic humming of the Buddha Toad 
who teaches children how to chase rainbows 
that spiral home in land of Zathamar. 

Jumping in dream book of terrible truth 
through mead in cauldron that Cerridwen brews, 
I prophesy cycle of life and death 
for tyrant who proclaims himself world king 
so we celebrate his fall at glass tomb 
that crumbles lost in land of Zathamar. 

Jumping in dream book of mysterious myth 
through bleeding pages scratched with angel quills, 
I join crusade against cruel tyranny 
lead by hands of Justice and Liberty 
who reign on Pyramid of the God Eye 
that preserves peace in land of Zathamar. 

Jumping in dream book of addictive trust 
through transformation of Soul-Birthing Well, 
I marry daughter of Achilles Christ 
to found new dynasty of prophet-kings 
who nurture people in workshops and farms 
that market health in land of Zathamar. 

Jumping in dream book of confident song 
through vibrant strings on lyre of Mercury, 
I record epic of philosophers 
to glorify brave seekers of real truth 
who teach in Schools of Curiosity 
that foster growth in land of Zathamar. 

Jumping in dream book of infinite love 
through reincarnation again in flesh, 
I mutate forms four hundred million years 
from fish to wingless angel who asks why 
to preserve immortal soul of my genes 
that mirrors Self in land of Zathamar.

heart pounding with wild song of ocean waves, 
I greet faceless Spirit of Mother Light 
who teaches me how to translate my thoughts 
to tangled riddles of conceptual verse 
that swirl wings from electric scream of rain. 

Searching for love on Desolation Row, 
visions flashing in my glass brain of faith, 
I ask Ishtar with diamond eyes of hope 
for program code that helps me learn to cope 
with constant chaos of time-pulsing change 
when I dance with electric scream of rain. 

Alert for demons in Strawberry Fields, 
feet tense with lithe exertion of respect, 
I find the Carpenter building the Ark 
to save humankind from the coming flood 
of world wars that may destroy paradise 
who sail safe in electric scream of rain. 

Alone on new Bridge of Forgetfulness, 
hands reaching out to touch the sail-boat moon, 
I ask young Remus for lost map of dreams 
so I can find glass idol of Kwan Yin 
who offers me Holy Grail with peach juice 
so we kiss in electric scream of rain. 

Wandering nowhere in global Maze of Myths, 
eyes twinkling with ripe Apple of Zathar, 
I join Explorer on the signless road 
who knows how to cast tyrants from gold thrones 
and free humanity from mindless faith 
to sing psalms from electric scream of rain. 

Eating burger in Wingless Horse Cafe, 
tongue twisted by riddles of refugees, 
I help the Social Architect design 
political system with equal rights 
that ensures freedom and justice for all 
who are born from electric scream of rain. 

Browsing books in Library of Lost Tales, 
I play Creator who crafts Ideas of Things 
that formulate how our bodies evolve 
fish to lizard to mouse to cat to monkey 
to wingless angel striving to be God, 
dream-conscious in electric scream of rain. 

Awake in Empire of Zarathia,

These boots have tread lush hills of distant lands 
where strangers welcomed me with generous hands, 
and brought home lurid chunks of fertile soil 
to plump flourishing garden of my heart 
with sacred elements of ancient truth 
which nourish fruit trees of my paradise. 

This coat has flapped in winds of rugged hills 
where fairies teased me with conceptual tricks, 
and served as wings like those Icarus used 
to transcend narrow mindset of my tribe 
so I expand attentive scope of faith 
while mapping maze of myths with strict insight. 

This hat has sheltered my frail head from storm 
hurled by indifferent Nature without care, 
and shaded gaze of my observant eyes 
so I progress on sacred quest for truth 
that lead to cave of illusions in Hell 
where I retrieved bright diamond Eye of God. 

This pack has borne treasures of hopeful dreams 
which I have found in tombs of long-dead gods, 
so I display them in museum halls 
as records of our human quest for beauty 
for they bear spirits of creative minds 
long after their mortal craftsmen have died. 

This wand, that Zambor forged from meteor stone 
which blazed from haughty hand of Jupiter, 
provides emotional support through trust 
for my ascension on long winding road 
around snow-frosted Peak of Mount Takoma 
where Kwan Yin and Athena grant me visions. 

This book of tales, detailing human lives 
of every soul who ever lived on Earth, 
records grand epic deeds of mortal men 
as tragic heroes or romantic fools 
who battle tyrants in fraught game of power 
to maintain justice of wise Liberty. 

This tongue of eloquent expressiveness 
has sung elaborate tales of human deeds 
to praise the curious seekers of truth 
who built foundation of philosophy 
on which our world civilization thrives 
as efficient food-production machine. 

This brain of neurons woven from bright atoms, 
which has evolved four hundred million years, 
generates virtual model of our world 
programmed by my ancestral memories 
while we strive to transcend material form 
and become manifestation of God.

Ability to regulate despair 
by singing hymns my flashing brain designs 
provides foundation for excessive thought 
based on how I take responsibility 
by beaming radiant passion of my being 
to nurture spirit of my loving spouse. 

Though I transcend state of oblivion 
by striding forth with comic seriousness, 
sharp sword of ice-bitter wind penetrates 
wounded shield of my heart with obvious truth 
that I am fragile human stumbling lost 
through endless maze of myths that is our world. 

Aware of mute mephitic melancholy 
that poisons my heart with obnoxious faith, 
I read books backwards to misunderstand 
how humans hide weaknesses of their souls 
with frantic performance of sudden joy 
to misdirect attention of false friends. 

Wind blows snow off peak of the distant hill 
as I trudge slowly across sparkling field 
white is page of the book where I write spells 
to understand language of power lines 
that translate whisper of snow in sunlight 
to heart-breaking songs of romantic loss. 

I shall change my secret professor name 
to Robin Arthazar of Oregon 
for I twang lyre of Mercury with sass
to challenge gods of Academia 
who study how I run red light of fate 
and almost crash into the chariot. 

Propensity to master artistry, 
involving dexterous skill of aptitude, 
traps my attentive mind of star-chess moves 
in childish game of chase the faceless ghost, 
so I must temper adroitness of faith 
with honest prowess involving dead crows. 

Weird expertise for drawing network dreams 
provides resource of brilliant cleverness 
for how I organize masks of dead gods 
on white museum wall of diffidence 
with self-effacing passion to secure 
key to salvation for creating truth. 

Capacity to gather gems of truth 
provides foundation of marmoreal words 
for me to reassemble frame of mind 
in global puzzle of new paradigm 
I weave in tapestry of social heroes 
imprisoned in procedure of concern. 

Grand Wedding Feast

So many snowflakes floating from the sky 
shroud the death-mangled world in silent beauty 
which gleams in silver eyes of young wolf boy 
who stands alone before angry bull man 
snarling at his intrusion on his land, 
in contest over who controls fruit trees. 

"I am Galates, ruler of these lands 
which I have named Galatia for my soul," 
young wolf boy declares with arrogant smirk, 
"for I am son of Celtus and Minerva, 
son of Celto and Hercules the brave, 
daughter of Britannus, king of the world." 

Snarling with rage at the arrogant boy, 
Tauriscus swings knotty club at his head, 
but lithe Galates avoids every blow, 
prancing all about as he somersaults 
with graceful gestures of martial defense, 
and mocks brute bull man with sneering insults. 

Walking to the lake with her retinue 
to gather apples from snow-frosted trees, 
Scythia, wearing long white fox-fur cloak, 
stops and turns at echoes of shouting voices, 
then gasps with concern when she sees harsh fight 
for power between bull man and wolf boy. 

When Tauriscus spies tall elegant princess, 
he rushes forward with vicious intent 
to abduct Scythia and make her his wife, 
so she shrinks back in paralyzed surprise 
as bull man grabs her waist with greedy hands 
and throws her over his shoulder with laughter. 

Grasping bow of Hercules with firm hand, 
who gave it to his mother at his birth, 
Galates chases bull man through the woods, 
breath puffing mist in frigid air of hope 
while they run swiftly over fields of snow, 
till Tauriscus threatens to kill the princess. 

Squeezing her neck with greedy hands of rage, 
Tauriscus shields himself behind her body, 
so sly Galates notches in yew bow 
sharp arrow he honed with stone of the moon, 
and aims bold justice at his glaring eye, 
then fires when Scythia twists herself aside. 

Holding hands with Scythia in red gown, 
Galates guides her in grand hall of pine 
that gleams on hill above Alesia, 
crowns princess bride Queen of Galatia, 
then sits with her before the congregation 
to host grand wedding feast for everyone. 

While Orpheus strums the lyre of Mercury 
and Phoebe sings Great Deeds of Hercules, 
Galates and Scythia drink red wine 
from jeweled grail, kiss with passionate love, 
then lead communal dance to celebrate 
his victory against cruel tyrant of greed.

I remember when my brain was first wired 
with shocking memories of frantic escape 
from sharp-teethed monster with glowing gold eyes 
so terror of harsh pain flooded my heart 
with urgent energy of ardent hope 
that helped me escape death four million lives. 

Standing on street corner in downtown Gotham, 
Zarthus contemplates how his brain perceives 
the whole real world with complex virtual model 
complete with alarm system that detects 
danger in the form of men and machines 
so he proceeds with caution down the street. 

Four million generations of my soul 
have survived for one hundred million years 
since I was small furry mouse in the woods 
running with intense passion to survive 
till I transformed into long-legged cat 
then climbed into trees and became lithe monkey. 

Now I walk upright on two sturdy legs, 
skill I learned floating in calm ocean tides 
while dancing in electric surge of joy 
along ever-winding shore of the world, 
till I traversed whole landscape of our globe 
so I know song of every mountain river. 

Leaning against greasy telephone pole 
while eating ice cream with leather-gloved hands, 
Zarthus watches all the colorful people 
of every shape and size and type and color 
who populate our global maze of streets, 
reborn as children of brave Caliban. 

When Jupiter ruled Earth with lightning bolt, 
brass martial wand tipped with emerald blade, 
as judge of life and death on the ziggurat, 
he chose his son Phoebus as the Crown Prince, 
so Lucifer lead rebellion from pride, 
then Adam had to vote who would play God. 

Yet every god and king and emperor 
who dared play god in mortal game of power 
has rotted into dust of nothingness, 
leaving nothing but skeletons and idols 
to signify their legacy of power, 
mute and blind head of Ozymandias. 

Programmed by terror of death to survive, 
I focus attention of crafting hands 
to compose new ontological code 
expanding religious creed of old myths 
so faith includes respect for all world gods 
who glow as ghosts of mortal souls long dead.

Extracting feelings from his rotten brain, 
David drops them in his bucket of dread, 
then grips slimy handle with frozen hands 
and slogs through muck across cold field of dreams 
to dump false memories on heap of lost myths 
so they will compost into mindless faith. 

Elevation of emotional landscape 
fluctuates with soul-quake of assumed regret, 
so David stumbles disgracefully alert 
between bouncing stones of arrogant need 
despite attempts to bind his flighty soul 
with heavy anchor of his rusting heart. 

Expecting beautiful angels of fate 
to beam before him on the broken world, 
David waits patiently while fractured time 
reassembles puzzle of fraught events 
with random linkages between strange facts, 
unrelated to shocked ache of desire. 

Exhilaration born from painful rate 
in ordered reversal of wrenched insight, 
that twists objective sense of ardency, 
sparks awake his sense of absurdity, 
so David considers how roots crush stones 
with slow accretion of secret respect. 

Expelling questions of arrowed contempt, 
that strike too deep in alphabetic gloom, 
David measures enormity of fear 
embodied by the man with thirty arms 
who mocks inverted pride of bitterness 
by making faces with devilish glee. 

Enticed by beauty of elusive truth 
that lures his progress to conserve false hope, 
David assumes he is now the lost cause 
condemned by fortune to suffer alone, 
so he slingshots laughter at Face of God 
to mimic victory of Zeus against Cronus. 

Exploring awesome realm of fantasy 
that exists nowhere but inside his own head, 
David wears crown with thirteen spikes of power 
that resembles crown of thorns Jesus wore 
to prove his claim to divine right to rule 
all the lonely people who ask for names. 

Excited by vision of blazing stars 
that flash across eternal sky of truth, 
David types code on white computer screen 
to program how brains of humanity 
will now perceive evolution of life 
through framework of our world ontology.
