Oblivion of faith in blank field of snow, 
that erases our corrupted world view, 
calls us to stir from beauty of the dream 
where we thrive in community of trust, 
but wake with ache for what has never been 
with oneiralgia for that Never World. 

Heart mutable with adjectives of hope, 
I walk forever on the signless road 
with ache of love still rotting in my hands 
to find shadow of Heaven in my heart 
where I can hide from demon of desire 
whose beauty lures me to valley of death. 

Bright in smudged mirror of Forever Now, 
my past and future selves unborn play me 
behind mask of hunger I have to wear, 
which my mother crafted for me from love, 
so I can bear it as lamp of her heart 
with weird glow that reveals road I must blaze. 

Awake in lonely times of Nevermore, 
I gaze at pages in the holy book, 
with cover crafted from orange melon skin, 
to dream how my mother performed her role 
with improvised assertion of calm grace 
to maintain dignity of honest schemes. 

Resolve to aim for target of respect, 
which must objectify cruel contempt, 
inspires her shameless passion to design 
our complex system of communal rites 
that maps strict pattern of performance art 
which channels how we generate new life. 

Unbidden by dream-pain of fractured eyes, 
when I design weird oneiralgic spells, 
I float in laughter of the stopless clock 
to measure change of blossoms from my corpse 
when children pluck fruit from my tangled limbs 
and sing while feasting on juice of the sun. 

Returning as the crow with crystal eyes, 
I dance in ring of stones at flash of dawn 
to raise wise Cleopatra from the dead 
so she can occupy my monstrous head 
with revelation that conceptual pride 
can nurture how messiahs rule the world. 

Though all we build has fallen into ruins, 
demolished by the crownless king of greed, 
we dance with serpent of the fruitful tree 
and plot new revolution to restore 
global state where oneiromancers weave 
world tapestry that includes every soul.
