Count Each Snowflake

Since cold silence almost crushes his heart,
he nearly forgets to sing about death
as he trudges aimlessly in dark woods
with secret purpose to count each snowflake
that shrouds the pulsing world in bitter faith
so no one remembers warmth of sunlight.

Expansive sweetness of beautiful light
explodes from languid happiness of dust
in golden fruit that ripens to excess
with loud assertion of conceptual rights
that he dares claim with nonchalance of fear
because everyone ignores he is real.

Almost concerned that love connects dead hearts,
he reaches out his hand with trembling hope
to understand why people everywhere
seem charged with competitive energy
in fight for power to control the world
though it all crumbles to sand in the end.

He slouches by brick wall of the locked bank
and stares at lights that blink on trunks of trees
while busy people walking somewhere fast
pretend his body is no more than mud
that throbs with feelings of hunger and rage
by delicate murmuration of fate.

Inverted sparkplug of his chugging brain
smears turpentine letters on copper scrolls
which flares dialectic polarity
based high on motion of primitive thoughts
appointed by the clown of solitude
to grant obscene wishes of refugees.

He shall not panic at relentless crash
of whistling stones that hop with legs of frogs
against aggressive governments through tax
designed to wrench triumphal latency
in durable sequence of puzzling songs
which map demographics of shattered states.

No traveler remembers their false name
they write with blood of angels in blank books
till winter rain dissolves morality
while goddess of beauty ascends stone stairs
to sing with strange flames of the last sunset
that shocks country people with travesty.

So he rides winged monkey bound for Oz
to reign as emperor of nowhere else
with artificial brain of rancid dreams
programmed by cats that evolve into apes
on our way to become weird human beings
who like to count each snowflake of the mind.

Orpheus teaches his son Orion how to count each snowflake that translates light to crystal concepts of the dreaming brain.
