Time Flashing Weirdly Real

Silver shadows of my circular mind
reveal eerie scene of the apple grove
where moonlight watches me with water eyes
so I reach out and touch what is not real
that floods my garden with elusive hope
till I become sharp desire of wind chimes.
One thousand years of sorrow clean my mind
with long-forgotten whisper of sweet rain
embodied by this frame of memories
in which my spirit glows with calm desire
to animate aggressive thoughts of stones
which sing about time flashing weirdly real.
Surreal with spooky curiosity,
my home contains alternative beliefs
based on hypothesis contrived from mud
that we are awkward demons of mute stars
concerned about the eldritch honesty
which we assert to prove our right to live.
Because none knows where I was really born
my mind performs with sinister acclaim
through sly regard for bitter courtesy
contained by shocked regret of bold esteem
that we exchange for treasure of bruised hearts
extracted by despair from vital mood.
Through convoluted plight of humorous fear,
entranced by disposition time affirms,
I stand by broken bridge of federal trust
and with fake courage divulge secret crimes
my mind commits in shadows of morale
that few would dare aver at maudlin death.
I never will pretend with childish glee
I am free flower blooming from grim rage
except as we imagine falling snow
conceals stark ugliness of wordless greed
that traps in cycle of blind poverty
apparent tricksters seeking shy revenge.
I will not pray to any secret road
with stubborn worship endlessly expressed
through grand self-portrait of our asphalt god
who teaches children to explore the world
so they can always measure what is real
despite inflation caused by heresy.
Sincerity of aberrant defect
alerts courageous architect of faith
who portrays mad king with alacrity
so people are compelled by fear of change
to vote for him as jester of the land
who takes me fishing on the mountain lake.
