Castle Door Of Power

When the young woman with lightbulbs for eyes
begins to scrape her shadow off the wall,
the farmer, hiding the mirror of time
in his pocket, along with the glass moon,
asks the innocent cow why people laugh
though we become roses after we die.

Let us consider the black albatross
that perches on the shoulder of blind Thor
who transforms happy children into moths
despite how long the pink telephone screams
at angels who torment government clerks
with thoughts of beauty for the penniless.

The woman decides not to fight the tree
and walks away instead beyond the sky
to harvest ginseng from the mountain slope
where the man disguised as the sullen horse
throws walnuts at her red car on the bridge
till she folds his mask in her leather purse.

Since I am interested in your mind,
that pulses bright as purple mushroom brain,
I design our parallel universe
to mirror graceful body of the nymph
who sews clothes for the lonely gatherers
embarrassed by the need to fall in love.

Born right near the cusp of Virgo and Libra,
I worship Justice holding Scales of Truth
who teaches humans to confirm our soul
with self-control in framework of the law
so effects from cause of our actions charge
constructive progress of organic growth.

The woman wearing wings of tattered novels
encloses her soul in the rolling stone
that gleams beneath the throne of splintered oak
before she opens twenty thousand doors
to find typewriter of the weeping clown
so she can drink delicious can of oil.

Ophelia watches romantic show
on television forged from raven beaks
so she can learn the secret key of fate
we use to open castle door of power
before rain falling on black city streets
transforms her soul back into the Mermaid.

If the young woman with lightbulbs for eyes
attempts to play piano in red snow,
Apollo may remember where we live
and bring basket of persimmons to show
he understands assignment of the hour
to build world empire of Zarathia.

Orpheus carves the Last Judgment on the castle door of power to educate pilgrims on the fair and objective court system of justice that sustains the world empire of Zarathia.
