Wine sweet as blood of angels conjugates 
uncanny sentences of surreal truth 
that veil corrupted passion bubbling dark 
from boundless void of honest arrogance 
till I remember why faith allocates 
beautiful illusions of silent hope. 

Faith sweet as blood of angels dominates 
extensive project children buy from death 
to rebuild bridges between broken hearts 
unchained from harping wires of prophecies 
that must confound the heartless hotel cook 
who gives love potion to Isolde to drink. 

Hope sweet as blood of angels celebrates 
contempt of gangsters who play chess with death 
when they invade our desert paradise 
if Zeus counts sheep that leap fence of strict rules 
defining how we grant relationships 
in process favored by cute crows of Mars. 

Love sweet as blood of angels generates 
organic bodies famished for fruit pies 
since straw hats gardeners wear wait in grass 
for soldiers to return from global wars 
to mothers knitting socks in rocking chairs 
amid ruins of homes destroyed by bombs. 

Fear sweet as blood of angels distillates 
memories of pleasure and pain in songs 
that lonely lovers lost on signless roads 
sing to the full moon who never responds 
except with riddles no one ever solves 
to live in floating castle of the ghost. 

Rage sweet as blood of angels delegates 
ludicrous tasks for jesters to perform 
at grandiose banquet of the state elite 
who steal wealth from calloused hands of the poor 
so I will build new humble river boat 
to sail the Patawomeck River home. 

Greed sweet as blood of angels activates 
memories of past lives my ancestors lived 
in their courageous struggle to transcend 
shocking horror that time is infinite 
while our brains that flash with theater shows 
disintegrate to atoms in the rain. 

Doubt sweet as blood of angels orchestrates 
slow resurrection of conceptual souls 
from tangled skein of stories humans share 
which emanate from letters on the page 
describing actions characters perform 
who disappear in silence of the wind.
