Second Coming Of Mercury

Disabled by strange smile of ocean tides,
I meditate among humming plum trees
to understand the sound of silent wind
which animates our bodies with brave pride
in vain attempt to share forgiveness
before second coming of Mercury.

Though aching heart of sorrow wakes from dream
by strong scent of hibiscus at midnight,
I gaze through telescope of ardent faith
at planet floating over sea of eyes
where children play chase in ruins of truth
before second coming of Mercury.

She lifts anguish-soft petal to her nose
while sitting on grave where her mother sleeps,
then steeps it in hot water to brew tea
she sips while sniffing pungent scent of time
that pulses through her periodic blood
before second coming of Mercury.

Most days her mind of melons in hot fields
dismeasures censured state of wretchedness
through calm discretion of amusing code
forsaken by mask of beauty she steals
because she hopes to connect all our minds
before second coming of Mercury.

With hyper caution of the treasured key
she photographs faceless specters of faith
who dance in dervish spirals of respect
for something more immense than mountain souls
unwinding spool of frantic memories
before second coming of Mercury.

Arrived at indecision warriors trade
for subtle knowing of our hopelessness,
she shares strange vision of reality
more true than dreams our eyes invent from light
since all we need is bread and hot beef stew
before second coming of Mercury.

Unloosened web of spiral surgencies
reveals sly origami puzzle games
we choose to play with haughty urgency
to find the empty diamond of the mind
that fuels the piston engine of progress
before second coming of Mercury.

Cheerfulness disguised as bitter contempt
alerts my sense for high activity
that drives my journey to the Promised Land
with temperate ambition to rule Earth
while hiding alone in cavern of tricks
before second coming of Mercury.

Orpheus leads enormous crowd of war refugees across the waste land of America to gather in the ring of humming stones and wait for the second coming of Mercury.
