Circus On The Moon

Circus On The Moon

Through purple writhing anecdotes of rain 
my spinal stairs transcend corrupted stones 
with pulsing eyes of vibrant rainbow rings 
strung out across abyss of howling Who 
whose million hands grasp cliff-disangled air 
as if to say love ripples waves of thoughts. 

Considerate cannon of exploding words, 
contained in canisters of crippled creeks, 
discusses credits for creating cars 
which clowns would drive to circus on the moon 
if Bridge of Happiness is built in time 
to channel angst of Superman reborn. 

Correcting circuit board of elephants 
with brains as big as engines on jet planes, 
grim Cronus charts long winding road of truth 
in quest for Diamond of the winter ball 
who must disdain the crown she earns with faith 
before she may assume the prophet role. 

Not quite unborn before red dawn of hope, 
reluctant to reanalyze thought games, 
young Janus measures space beyond the wall 
to ponder riddle for lost state of mind, 
accepting how far paradise extends 
before he meets Death in the ocean cave. 

Selling tickets for circus on the moon, 
dressed as Cinderella in the state park, 
exuberant Boudica cries out to God 
for help to save her people from the goon 
who tells her tale in television show 
that children watch before going to bed. 

Unearthly song of eerie ennui beams 
from crackling radio in the muddy trench 
where sad Godot waits for the tolling bell 
to announce second coming of the Christ 
who floats to Earth beneath hot-air balloon 
on fake wings Icarus designed for him. 

With Aslan in lush Himalayan vale 
Parvati travels on the signless road, 
bringing her son to circus on the moon 
where he declares intent to rule the world 
till Cronus calls him on the telephone 
with news that children are dying in war. 

Nine rings of power, stolen from old graves, 
gleam brightly nuclear on public display 
in State Museum of the Singing Skull, 
presented by the godly Archivist 
who tells us all Orpheus is his dad 
while giving apples to the young and old.
