Code Of Common Sense

Everywhere in vast city maze she goes
Sibyl hears wordless voices of the dead
so she writes their stories in melting snows
till they become flowers stuck in her head.
Humming on the balcony of her heart,
she waits for the apocalypse to start.

Aligned on bare walls of houses and schools,
portraits of the dead frame the narrative
we tell about the tragedy of rules
that destroy both jaded and sensitive.
Skipping across lush meadow of her heart,
she follows angel of the apple cart.

Aware that time is not measured by clocks
that spool our memories in twisted code,
Sibyl oils gears that wind conceptual rocks
which channel ambition down signless road.
Tweaking details that compose fairy tales,
she weeps for the jester whose project fails.

Focused on how fragments unpuzzle her brain
in star mirror that reflects cosmic souls,
Sibyl studies process for growing grain
written with demon blood on crystal scrolls.
Adjusting how her eyes perceive the world,
she searches Hades for the cosmic herald.

Anywhere she walks in the city maze
in lonely quest to find the long-lost crown,
Sibyl finds idols that portray each phase
humans take to expand their market town.
Sketching flow chart that illustrates growth,
she analyzes strict religious oath.

Amalgamation stitching random facts
in theory that accounts for everything
directs how Sibyl computes weird aspects
which surface-bind spiral-coiled psychic ring.
Counting endless cycle of numbered wheels,
she indexes states of human ordeals.

Amused by abstract perimeter wall
surrounding Heaven with protective glow,
Sibyl attends chapel rites in prayer shawl
with pious attitude of those who know.
Attending song of wrens in chestnut trees,
she smells Gabriel floating in the breeze.

Face to face in Garden of Zathamar,
Sibyl and Gabriel gaze in surprise
to meet their soulmate of the rainbow star
in new-met stranger with familiar eyes.
Reaching out her hand with brave insolence,
she falls in love through code of common sense.

Orpheus conducts wedding ceremony between Sibyl and Gabriel in Temple of Ishtar on Ziggurat of Ur, then Kwan Yin sings while David plays the harp as they all feast.
