Unwinds Clockless Time

Stars sink into the dusty yard of sad,
uwinding clockless time of random thoughts
that swindle mystery of its puzzling truth
so we forget soft why of arrogance
when children tiptoe past the room of death
where asters burst through windows of disgust.

My body encased in ghost-sheen of frost
breaks free from dragon egg of naked hope
when I wake in darkness of empty rooms
and drive through light of endless waning moons
forever over contours of my brain
that match the landscape of unshadowed vales.

Each river that loses its sacred name
in swirling indifference of the blind sea
describes annunciation of rebirth
where nameless swimmers search for my real home
to howl each time they emerge for fresh air
with visitation of angelic ghouls.

The painting of the woman on the wall
who calls to the fisherman in the boat
that floats between lonely hills and glow clouds
reveals uneasy doubts I try to hide
in bowl of tangerines beside the book
that seems to record tale of the last god.

When I go back to the house for the book
presenting story of the cosmic herald,
I get stuck in time loop of false desire
through inquisition of the holy cult
based on hypothetical creed of faith,
awake on tranquil bay of innocence.

As displaced person of the jungle tribe,
clutching relic of my fear-broken god,
I meditate on nature of the heart
in cold cement prison cell of fear,
stuck in limbo between Heaven and Hell
that reflect state of mind I imitate.

Still priest of Hermes in old temple ruins,
I play the sacred flute of haunting angst
that weaves pure darkness of the lonely heart
in star-stained fragrance of barley and wine
while I guide you on the shadowy path
to lightless Underworld of faceless ghosts.

Yet Caliban emerges with green blood
from treacherous womb of the willow witch
to sing ice-crystal absence of the heart
with heart-amending melody of faith
that gushes from eyes of the jester king
who uwinds clockless time of riddle dreams.

Orpheus measures progress of unwinding clockless time to analyze consequences of the time loop where America breaks into warring states.
