Humming Room Of Fate

With nothing better than love to believe in 
Thor creeps along the fence line round nine hills 
to find the angel fallen from the sky 
who howls in anguish at loss of his star 
that burns in aching furnace of his heart 
till rain drenches us on the lonely road. 

Unwanted places of the dancing dead, 
who follow dazzle of the screaming river, 
supports the silver sunlight in the wind 
that leads Thor to the humming room of fate 
where children play board games forever, bored 
while their parents work in car factories. 

Threading haze of morning with soft voices 
of factory workers trudging on wet roads, 
the chestnut angel, bearing bowls of doom, 
gives poisoned food to children by the prison 
who transform into mushrooms with red eyes 
that sprout from televisions in the mud. 

Venus weaves living moment of perception 
with conscious passion of the clinking glass 
to drink the whiteness of the boundless sky 
while laughing cats congregate in the church 
to ask the dead man writhing on the cross 
why he never returns till end of time. 

Regret for sorrow of the rain-blurred hills 
inspires the fallen angel with one eye 
to rebuild walls of Heaven from cracked skulls 
of dinosaurs who once roamed hills of Earth 
despite the promise they may win the prize, 
trapped in glass cubicle of fractured eyes. 

Rose-cheeked Adonis returns home at dawn 
with wild boar he killed on the mountain slope, 
then hosts grand barbecue for everyone 
who works with his son at the factory, 
while Venus, his aging wife in blue jeans, 
gives beer to all while smoking cigarettes. 

Rain adds rank wisdom to the gushing river 
that overflows weed-tangled banks of hope 
when Venus sees young Thor lounging alone, 
so she embraces him with eager arms 
and begs him to expand her state of mind 
while bald Adonis fries steaks at the grill. 

Falling in the river as they embrace 
after rolling on the steep primrose bank, 
Thor and Venus drown in flood of desire 
while kissing their own shadows in the brook, 
so Adonis eyes Juliet with a wink, 
but she runs away with Sir Lancelot.
