Unwinds Clockless Time

Unwinds Clockless Time

Stars sink into the dusty yard of sad, 
uwinding clockless time of random thoughts 
that swindle mystery of its puzzling truth 
so we forget soft why of arrogance 
when children tiptoe past the room of death 
where asters burst through windows of disgust. 

My body encased in ghost-sheen of frost 
breaks free from dragon egg of naked hope 
when I wake in darkness of empty rooms 
and drive through light of endless waning moons 
forever over contours of my brain 
that match the landscape of unshadowed vales. 

Each river that loses its sacred name 
in swirling indifference of the blind sea 
describes annunciation of rebirth 
where nameless swimmers search for my real home 
to howl each time they emerge for fresh air 
with visitation of angelic ghouls. 

The painting of the woman on the wall 
who calls to the fisherman in the boat 
that floats between lonely hills and glow clouds 
reveals uneasy doubts I try to hide 
in bowl of tangerines beside the book 
that seems to record tale of the last god. 

When I go back to the house for the book 
presenting story of the cosmic herald, 
I get stuck in time loop of false desire 
through inquisition of the holy cult 
based on hypothetical creed of faith, 
awake on tranquil bay of innocence. 

As displaced person of the jungle tribe, 
clutching relic of my fear-broken god, 
I meditate on nature of the heart 
in cold cement prison cell of fear, 
stuck in limbo between Heaven and Hell 
that reflect state of mind I imitate. 

Still priest of Hermes in old temple ruins, 
I play the sacred flute of haunting angst 
that weaves pure darkness of the lonely heart 
in star-stained fragrance of barley and wine 
while I guide you on the shadowy path 
to lightless Underworld of faceless ghosts. 

Yet Caliban emerges with green blood 
from treacherous womb of the willow witch 
to sing ice-crystal absence of the heart 
with heart-amending melody of faith 
that gushes from eyes of the jester king 
who uwinds clockless time of riddle dreams.
