Ideal Persona I Would Play

Bright in glass constellation of my heart, 
transcendent god, who has never been real 
beyond imagination of wild priests 
drunk on wine from mushrooms of ecstasy, 
reveals ideal persona I would play 
to maintain dignity of daily life. 

My heart pours torrents of expansive words, 
unmeasured by attentive spate of faith, 
which conjure strangers who steal hungry trees, 
to see enormous city towers gleam 
in evening clouds that loom above deep vales 
where surfaces of pools reveal our eyes. 

Adorned with jewels of fantastic truth, 
my heart attempts in vain to calculate 
ethereal breath of angels in fruit trees 
whose lust embodies serpents with gold eyes 
who tease me with delicious energy 
to think I may achieve eternal life. 

Weird thoughts of wisdom, I untwist from light, 
crawl through dim shadow of my aching flesh 
so I pretend I am First Man of Time 
commissioned by Cloud-Ghost to name all things 
that exist within bounds of time and space 
because they glow beyond mask of my face. 

As daughter of Tiresias, I guard 
Gates of Eden with spear Longinus carved 
to catch the dragon falling from rain clouds 
disguised as glorious angel with nine eyes 
who teaches me how to fly the airplane 
so I can make more accurate map of Earth. 

Though serpent of the apple tree retains 
extensive sets of books blind devils write, 
she dares reveal to me, calm mortal fool, 
collective wisdom of prophets and seers 
whose bones are letters of riddles we share 
while feasting on hamburgers by the lake. 

Long wick of my temporary heart glows 
with timeless grace of pure immortal flame 
which fills my heart with long-unspoken spells 
that fly as ravens from my open mouth 
when I campaign for President of Earth 
while seeking treasure in Elysian Fields. 

Whole in glass constellation of my brain, 
my soul accepts its temporary state 
as mortal body of hungry desires 
animated by immortal gene soul 
through chaos bound in limits of my being, 
so I want to tell you about my love.
