If the Lazuli Bunting at the window 
brings brilliant beauty of the brazen sky 
to luminate the kitchen of her heart, 
Rimba will cook for one hundred mouths 
though her family consists of seven people 
who all live alone in their sprawling house. 

Old Saturnus, bound to the Chestnut tree, 
recites long lines of Saturnalian verse 
which no one understands, so they assume 
he recounts values of company stocks, 
but all his words become lizards and mice 
that inhabit bathrooms in city h0mes. 

The tall oak tree covered in shimmering ice 
opens star-bright eyes of psychic insight 
that have seen human empires rise and fall, 
then walks along the rule-straight asphalt road, 
scattering acorns in its cracks that sprout 
new forest of oaks to swallow vast cities. 

The woman with eyes green as Shinko pears 
gazes in hearts of people who pass by, 
and whispers prophecies that predict how 
each one will fail to stay with their soulmate, 
then offers each slice of hot cobbler pie, 
so they pay with sad memories of lost love. 

No one seems to see looming in the sky 
storm cloud that portends disaster of faith, 
yet son of Rimba, with eyes green as hers, 
describes new social change to everyone, 
but they hurry past the raving mad man 
to see Achilles perform new ballet. 

Because the street signs are all painted wrong, 
the son of Rimba calls commissioner 
to explain how he can recalculate 
conceptual flow of crows on power lines 
that should adjust the algorithm right, 
though Death is always the anomaly. 

Attempting to jump-start his racing car, 
Chryses, weeping priest of Apollo, hooks 
vintage Underwood typewriter of dreams 
to the engine block with organic wires 
resembling tendrils of the jellyfish 
to program the car computer with faith. 

Ringing the bell outside the kitchen door, 
Rimba invites lost refugees of war 
to celebrate her Thanksgiving Day feast, 
so they gather in the pyramid hall 
to eat while the Nine Muses perform tales 
that recount the founding of our great empire.
