At the glass piano she finds his ghost 
alphabets of unattainable faith 
expressing by wild finger-dance to trace 
through writhing matrix of their pristine minds 
cluttered junk of dreams he discards with hope 
that eyeless clock of wisdom will teach why. 

Yet backward up reversed play they regress, 
alert to scams of mocking telephones 
by sorrow undeterred since twist of fate 
considers why fools gamble treasures lost 
since they decide to question with soft voice 
how eyeless clock of wisdom knows their names. 

Startled when Minerva opens his door, 
Isaiah hides half-finished scroll of prophecies 
behind his back while cheeks blush apple-red, 
so she grins softly with adoring glance 
at lily in his tweed jacket lapel 
since eyeless clock of wisdom chimes their love. 

Noting how lily of his heart blooms white 
to preserve one galaxy in its grail, 
Minerva weighs his brain on scale of faith, 
then gives him pair of scissors as her gift 
to celebrate his birthday before dawn 
when eyeless clock of wisdom reshapes time. 

Once Isaiah and Minerva accept 
bonds of love weave their lonely souls in one, 
they stroll together to the grocery store 
where she buys new piano keys of fate 
so he can play Starlight Sonata Eight 
which eyeless clock of wisdom still records. 

Shocked by delusions of the hungry crowd 
who wait for Jupiter in quick starship, 
because he promised to return to Earth 
and found new kingdom of the laughing crow, 
Minerva gives Isaiah harp of gold 
though eyeless clock of wisdom puffs the flame. 

When strange song of the nightingale transfers 
psychic code, advertised by human brains, 
to computer banks of authorized truth, 
Minerva wanders in garden of skulls 
where fairies dance around the fountain pool 
till eyeless clock of wisdom burns their wings. 

Hired as political analyst by Zeus 
to prophesy fall of America, 
Isaiah runs through twisting maze of myths 
till he finds Jesus on the motorbike, 
ready to broadcast his late evening show, 
if eyeless clock of wisdom programs hope.
