Flute Of Joyful Angst

Deep in the lonely city of my heart
where sparrows refuse to fly with fake wings,
I search for secretive words of dead trees
that shower my body with fractured light
trapped by potential echo of the voice
that crawls on rat feet in the alleyway.

With adamant faith in the dreamless bus
I wait in whisper of reluctant poles
dripping icicles of hope from phone lines
that teach selfless love to the Argonauts
who play hide and seek till the evening falls
in empty museum of the brain clock.

Urged by aggressive thrust of life, I leap
astonished by commotion of the mind
that blazes bright with holy breath of moons
too far away to see with naked eyes,
so I carve statue of the faceless god
in narrow niche of the small country church.

No reader stays to observe doom of death
that spreads my virtue in the narrow tomb
where minds too generous for the harsh world
mingle with dust of the dark shining Earth,
since luster of my name forever fades
like star that gleams long after it burns out.

Awake on fruitful sphere of spinning Earth,
I measure distance around pear-shaped globe
to study every tribe of human souls
which thrive on shores of rivers that collect
tart tears of those who suffer tyranny
so I expand my conscious sense of truth.

When I confront beautiful truth of life
to comprehend weird nature of my mind,
I square the circle of eccentric faith
to formulate limits of time and space
so universal element of love
flashes rainbows through prism of my heart.

I love to climb the mountain by your side
to wake immortal spirit of the Muse
from dragon egg of our contingent heart
with delirious rush of ecstatic joy
that we could avoid Death another day
and savor pleasure of rain on our skin.

To understand strange riddle of our house
we listen to the howl of ghostly wolves
whose eyes appear in glow of candle flames
while Willow plays her flute of joyful angst
to predict probabilities that puzzles
reflect wandering photons of my soul.
