Everywhere in vast city maze she goes 
Sibyl hears wordless voices of the dead 
so she writes their stories in melting snows 
till they become flowers stuck in her head. 
Humming on the balcony of her heart, 
she waits for the apocalypse to start. 

Aligned on bare walls of houses and schools, 
portraits of the dead frame the narrative 
we tell about the tragedy of rules 
that destroy both jaded and sensitive. 
Skipping across lush meadow of her heart, 
she follows angel of the apple cart. 

Aware that time is not measured by clocks 
that spool our memories in twisted code, 
Sibyl oils gears that wind conceptual rocks 
which channel ambition down signless road. 
Tweaking details that compose fairy tales, 
she weeps for the jester whose project fails. 

Focused on how fragments unpuzzle her brain 
in star mirror that reflects cosmic souls, 
Sibyl studies process for growing grain 
written with demon blood on crystal scrolls. 
Adjusting how her eyes perceive the world, 
she searches Hades for the cosmic herald. 

Anywhere she walks in the city maze 
in lonely quest to find the long-lost crown, 
Sibyl finds idols that portray each phase 
humans take to expand their market town. 
Sketching flow chart that illustrates growth, 
she analyzes strict religious oath. 

Amalgamation stitching random facts 
in theory that accounts for everything 
directs how Sibyl computes weird aspects 
which surface-bind spiral-coiled psychic ring. 
Counting endless cycle of numbered wheels, 
she indexes states of human ordeals. 

Amused by abstract perimeter wall 
surrounding Heaven with protective glow, 
Sibyl attends chapel rites in prayer shawl 
with pious attitude of those who know. 
Attending song of wrens in chestnut trees, 
she smells Gabriel floating in the breeze. 

Face to face in Garden of Zathamar, 
Sibyl and Gabriel gaze in surprise 
to meet their soulmate of the rainbow star 
in new-met stranger with familiar eyes. 
Reaching out her hand with brave insolence, 
she falls in love through code of common sense.
