Walking throughout the house of many rooms, 
the woman who remembers dawn of time 
searches for the ghost weeping in locked doors, 
but finds more than shadow on the wall 
cast by wordless sunlight of the season 
when people fall in love for no good reason. 

Painting landscapes on doors of weeping ghosts, 
the woman who swam the sea of weird dreams 
explains to children running on the lawn 
why water always flows down to the sea 
while she wears the latest sociable fashion 
to mask intense regret of bitter passion. 

Planting rose bushes on property lines 
to mark the sacred pale of paradise, 
the woman who hides the moon in her mind, 
to measure tides of change in aching hearts, 
raises the boy who leads our global nation 
far above conceptual frame of his station. 

Rowing her boat across the lake of skulls 
to drop Box of Pandora in dark depths, 
the woman who types letters for the bank 
recalculates the road of pilgrimage 
with delicate curves of psychic precision 
to match the code of existential vision. 

Inspired to generate life from my dreams, 
the woman who builds furniture from tropes 
for thousand mirrored rooms of the weird church 
directs the most epic romantic film 
where Juliet and Hamlet share devotion 
powered by machine of perpetual motion. 

Annoyed by pretty fantasy of hope 
sold by priests and preachers to lonely souls, 
the woman who teaches children to write 
lines of code that program our robot brains 
writes report on our national delusion 
about humans being angel-demon fusion. 

Confused by random events that transpire 
with frequent repetition of desire, 
the woman who navigates social games 
designs new set of characters with names 
for ghosts who haunt the lightning-flashed horizon 
till they appear as sweet witches who wizen. 

Startled by collapse of our old world view, 
the woman who treasures heroic tales 
commissions her son to play cosmic herald 
though he is reluctant to save the world, 
so he proceeds to exercise grim caution 
for finding comfort in safe land of Goshen.
