Howling Wind of Woe

Howling Wind of Woe

When sunset screams in silent ecstasy 
through frantic spirals of flashing rainbows 
that glitter eyes of the hypnotic toad 
whose song creates the multiverse of worlds, 
I breathe ghost of fertility and sing 
in harmony with howling wind of woe. 

I try to talk about my family vibe 
in pristine tale of pop psychology 
about my parental relationships 
that root my heart in doorless hall of time, 
but I hear cries of children in the rain 
entangling me with howling wind of woe. 

With threads of memories drawn from my brain 
as gleaming strings of tangled honesty, 
I sew new tapestry of ancient tales 
depicting Oedipus and Icarus 
as brave brothers watching the world cup game 
that channels rage with howling wind of woe. 

Through hawk eyes Prometheus steals for me 
I try to read silver calligraphy 
my ship writes on the seething waves of change, 
but time erases story of my heart 
when cold indifferent storm blows me back home 
where I dance weird with howling wind of woe. 

Eternal mask of our electric moon 
obscures intentions of my divine mind 
to resurrect the dead in words of songs 
though their bodies rot in mud of bomb blasts 
that wake blind angel in tomb of the church 
battered to shards by howling wind of woe. 

Investigating clues about the crime 
committed by the man with hands of gold, 
I find Idol of Helen with red hair 
buried under ruins of the White House 
where she blesses children killed by clean guns 
that imitate their howling wind of woe. 

When church bells scream in agony of prayer, 
casting curses of doom on thieves and liars, 
mute woman who knows why the caged bird sings 
stares at God Face in gleaming pool of fate 
that knows every secret she dares not hide, 
cast as torn books in howling wind of woe. 

Abandoned in the field of tangled wire 
where rainbow skeletons dance in red rain, 
white horse of wisdom teaches me new code 
for logging my soul in the world wide web 
for which I translate psychic formulas 
that measure words in howling wind of woe.
