Bible with pages that resemble wings 
of angry wolves consumes forgotten names 
three times before explosion of the wall, 
unpuzzled by contempt for rule of law, 
because we are blind children of old hills 
who work all day to pay civilized bills. 

There are only thirty Muses on Earth 
and nine of them haunt me all day and night, 
waiting their turn for my hands to transcribe 
vatic visions they dream of world events 
which I distort in riddles of weird code 
so only fools with nothing to lose can see. 

I am not lost on this forever road, 
she whispers to indifferent sea of light, 
but still I walk toward reimagined world 
to find the nothingness of perfect love 
that never will embrace my awkward hope 
to generate new life before I die. 

Though snow is falling backward to the moon, 
ten thousand windows never see her pass, 
for she is shadow of eager despair, 
reluctant to oblige the holy ghost 
with anxious wisdom of the snarling wolf 
who watches her swim in Saronic Gulf. 

How nice to see that I am not alone, 
she whispers to photo of her dead friends 
that screams with silent blossoming of trees 
while playful wind blows hair around her face 
as she feels sunlight sparkle in her cells 
with ancient passion of wild butterflies. 

She smiles and gazes beyond flash of time 
to waken cautious courage in her heart 
so she can face aggressive rage of lust 
that swirls around her in vast maze of streets 
where she keeps walking for ten thousand years 
in search for promise of paradise lost. 

Black raven lands on statue of the girl, 
three rainbow eyes reflecting her true soul, 
so she wakes deep in marble form to watch 
children imitate lives their parents lead 
in endless quest for peaceful happiness 
as we sail storms to conquer the new world. 

If India Catalina could survive 
to write grand narrative on bones of gods 
where every person lives with equal rights, 
then I too can create free paradise, 
she whispers as she floats on ocean waves 
far from the long lost Isle of Avalon.
