Follow Jesus To Fish

Follow Jesus To Fish

So many ways to fall out of the mind 
and weave light of the sun in roots of trees 
when I transform into angel from fish, 
and tell the old Sea Woman what I wish 
as her hair swirls around in evening breeze 
while she wanders beside the red-furred hind. 

The convex mirror that reflects my soul 
reveals strange beauty of the human heart 
in how we choose to play chess game with Death 
who sits enthroned before the monolith 
and studies fortune on our world star chart 
to see who next should play her priestess role. 

Still wearing black silk gown after the dance, 
Death takes my hand and leads me to the pool 
where she reveals weird secret of rebirth 
which I record with runes in Book of Earth 
to outline magic of the mental tool 
we use to divert fate with random chance. 

Embraced with passion of the spinning world, 
we generate soul for child of our love 
who leads great army of horses and men 
to gather herbs for making medicine 
while guided by her starship from above 
till revolution of the cosmic herald. 

Death resurrects my body with each life 
which she designs with programmed memories 
encoded through immortal soul of genes, 
so I invent bold industrial machines 
to mass-produce wealth in vast factories 
controlled by bankers during global strife. 

Returning from bloody fields of world war, 
young men who set out to make the world great 
follow Jesus to fish on ocean boats 
or linger on hillsides with herds of goats 
while sons of bankers feast behind locked gates 
and Phoebus runs the corner grocery store. 

Now most fully in love with easeful Death, 
calling her soft names with voice of the wind, 
Phoebus kisses her with passionate faith, 
then shouts to glowing clouds of the star wraith 
that he now finds it much more rich to live 
with lightning-nurtured vision of whole breath. 

While Death takes care of their child Artemis, 
Phoebus drives van on the crowded highway 
to visit new aquarium in town, 
since he wears his jeweled emperor crown, 
where he sees shine in the golden skyway 
the Revolution Stone of Sisyphus.
