When Tammy drinks raindrops on window glass 
to taste sorrow of strangers on the Earth 
who pick raspberries from the unfenced field, 
she feels eternal light gleam in her eyes 
so she sees essence of each human soul 
that helps her disappear in stream of words. 

If Tammy explains lassitude of gods 
with words of gold embossed on marble tombs, 
we might hear endless cries of suffering 
in fields of mourning where milk cows eat grass 
because they steal strange memories of our eyes 
with anxious experience of trembling joy. 

Though Tammy mistranslates edible smells 
to shimmer of ghosts on the primrose path, 
she hides her naked heart with waves of light 
when she invites me to swim in her lake 
halfway to completion of her weird dream 
blessing heavenly bridge between our hearts. 

Yet Tammy discovers with blush of faith 
her heart is impenetrable to contempt 
contrived by unfulfilled passion of respect 
we share with mutual acceptance that death 
tries to mislead us with sweet fantasy 
that we live forever in paradise. 

Before Tammy maps ruins of our love 
she intimates that angels without mouths 
imitate how she sings with butterflies 
to repeal law against our sacred bond 
commanded by invisible police 
who impose gratitude with scarlet pulse. 

Because Tammy dissociates our trust 
to stamp purpose of living on our hearts, 
she finds me inscrutable to her sense 
of freaked amusement without radar vibes 
despite our vow to share star messages 
submerged in supple waters of the pool. 

Since Tammy understands dreams I conceal 
with psychic sense of obvious solitude, 
she hungers for my face that fades with time 
while I sketch writhing maps in blood-stained clay 
depicting habitat of horse and owl 
to illustrate process of soul decay. 

Still Tammy leads me to cave by the sea 
where First Mother of all humanity 
chants ancient song of ardent innocence 
which nurtures how civilizations thrive 
based on weird mysteries of the common place 
that beams from still point of the universe.
