Eight: Mystical (poetry series)
Mystical
A tribute to your thoughts
Brother Nostrazerof**k
The gift of seeing first is yours
That tweet you called it
Months ago when others snored
Coincidence is the crossing
Of a tool’s path with the genius
Groove laid down by his new master
You wake in the mornings
Tapped on the chest by your guardian angel’s rummaging
Drawers in a multi-bayed Garage Mahal
Where shiny Craftsman tiers on wheels
So red and bright as to raise the spirit
Of William Carlos Williams
Depend on that
All alike, old human lives and their paraphernalia
New inventory to purgatory’s clearinghouse
Comes continual
Here’s yours
Of silvery screws, a few, dropped in a jar
Dropped a-purpose, little seer, they clink out one by one
A Tropicana
Flying Down to Old Havana
marimba tune
Dink dink…dinka dinka dinka dink…dink dink
You wake in the mornings
You carry awareness of great things
You find an ankh and wear it
A Cherokee bear tattoo it
A Nepalese mandala
A Celtic maze
Peramble it
Amulet of moonstone
Yinning you to fearful excess
Balance this with dreams of rockets
Mystical
Turtle Island
Purity
Haunt of Thieves (part six)
