If I sink too deep in the Sorrow Sea 
without the wings my mother made for me 
my brain may swell too huge with words of hope 
my father carved on stones for how to cope 
with deadly virus of beatitudes 
that twist apart my heaven-fractured moods. 

Each door of fear relocked by frozen words 
explains why joy ignores elastic birds 
that bring me keys forged in the bitter heart 
of that actress who will not fall apart 
when she performs my character on stage 
to channel social energy of rage. 

Clay jar that molds electric sprite of fate 
resembling idol designed to be bait 
cracks open in clean temple of the fool 
who sends his daughter to the priestess school 
though she just wants to sew elegant gowns 
for wives of kings who worship serious clowns. 

Nobody knows what role they should play now 
in social drama based around the cow 
whose milk refreshes minds of senators 
who sell their souls to psychic predators 
though God is no director for this film 
about how the cook grasps the spinning helm. 

We always fight about the storyline 
more rigid than the alligator spine 
defining how our nation-state transforms 
within framework of political storms 
between white nationalist theocracy 
and rainbow globalist democracy. 

I cannot return to my old homeland 
with everything I lost stuck in my hand 
because the people who drove me away 
were going to kill me if I planned to stay 
so every signless road around the world 
is now home of the wandering cosmic herald. 

Forget about the book I meant to write 
about all the wrongs I want to make right 
because water under the bridge of truth 
keeps flooding home of the messiah sleuth 
who climbs Mount Hermon to the ruined hall 
to meet the Watcher Angels when they fall. 

Inspired by progress of the mind machine, 
I ask King Hazael what God has seen, 
so he reveals how new empire will rise 
to unite every tribe under blue skies 
and merge all religions in one new faith 
that worships power of the Faceless Wraith.
