New Century Of Kwan Yin

Since process of life never finishes 
we write about things that happen so fast 
that clouds forget to analyze their facts 
even as frost of passion vanishes 
with high-voltage wire of the singing skull 
that floats like faceless moon in the ice pool. 

Yet terrifying innocence of truth 
drenches my face with savage artlessness 
ornate with lies based on fake earnestness 
which believers choose to mask shocking faith 
too pure with anguish of impunity 
for me to transcend harsh naivety. 

Which helps me make imagined tale of woe 
lurid with paralysis of desire 
when figures in photographs might inquire 
as to true nature of the star-bright snow 
through misalliance of the winter light 
heightened by threadbare art of all dream flight. 

So I choose to say what happened for real 
though none can verify my testament 
except pompous poet of parliament 
who pretends to care for how we all feel 
while recording our memories for sale 
that lurk in ruins of time on the trail. 

The new sports stadium where blind angels dance 
boasts spectacular games of circus style 
where kings and prophets accept without guile 
contempt of their savior pierced by the lance 
wielded by the tyrant with heart of gold 
who only believes in what can be sold. 

My dolphin lost in Gulf of Mexico 
returns to maze of iron arrogance, 
intending to present new evidence 
which proves beyond all doubt that Cicero 
collaborates with our Muse of Otherness 
to reclaim lost castle of Inverness. 

We prove that what we see cannot be true 
except when measured by star formulas, 
so we seek help from hungry Tantalus 
to study consequence of the state coup 
when children change the rules by which we live 
through religion of the fool in the cave. 

Precipitous beauty of the mad god, 
who lost his face in forest of the raven, 
lures our broken hearts to believe in Heaven, 
so we enforce laws of the justice squad 
as we enter new century of Kwan Yin 
who prophesies from rebuilt Parthenon.
