Weird Immortal Hope

Each star that flashes in the telescope 
illuminates old river of desire 
from which the fruit tree drinks electric tears 
so we taste bitter sweetness of this life 
each hour our souls flower from the blind stone 
to become new window of the Star Mind. 

So, when the stone of weird immortal hope 
extends roots down to center of the world, 
we wake from agony of hope for love, 
bodies composed of vibrant chemicals 
that fractalize through spirals of desire 
to channel god soul in our liquid bones. 

Arranging stones in circle over dirt, 
Leticia waters seeds of herbs and flowers 
that blossom from moist soil of her sad heart 
as they transform into library shelves 
where birds fold wings into pages of books 
that record tale of every conscious soul. 

As non-believer in the faceless god, 
whose shadow looms in clouds above the world, 
Leticia exits empty church of skulls 
where shadows of angels play hide and seek 
till stones crack open at soft lightning strikes 
to reveal pure light of eternity. 

Uncertain whir of gloom in sudden smoke, 
that deviates from her unconfirmed flight plan 
with graceful thrust across slick lake of ice, 
motivates response Leticia conceals 
with gentle smile of constant innocence, 
lost in humming darkness of mute dawn. 

Holding herself still in sparkles of snow, 
Leticia studies with inherent faith 
four snow buntings that chirp on the barbed wire 
about enchanting beauty of the moon 
which shines regardless of fierce politics 
that defines how men clash to control wealth. 

Sweet scent of honeysuckles after rain 
invites Leticia to analyze pain 
reflecting her face in the garden pool 
where she sees vision of houses on fire 
though nothing so dire is happening now, 
she assures herself because birds still chirp. 

Gazing through the telescope of false faith, 
Leticia calculates future events 
based on how planets glitter in the sky, 
wondering what empire of wealth will replace 
vibrant democracy of rolling stones 
which sprout into trees inside prison walls.
