Feast of Apple Hope

When the gray sky tells her she is not real,
Rayanne explains to Brownie in the hearth
that our brains are molecular machines
which temporarily glow with conscious soul
who feels they are immortal from old dreams
programmed by our ancestors in our genes.

When the gold sunrays tell her she is real,
Rayanne invites everybody she knows
to come and share her apple feast of hope,
but sits alone at table in the glade
till they appear as ravens from the moon
and mock her with sly laughter of the doomed.

When the blue raindrops of arrogant faith
spark life again in mud-corpse of her mind,
Rayanne walks to the forest pool of ghosts
where sad Narcissus weeps with longing ache
for Echo to return again from Hell,
so she walks to Helicon with his mask.

When the purple mountain majesties bulge
enormously against skin of her breast,
Rayanne learns to sing through dream synthesis
based on recursive process of desire
that links sounds to concepts when she invents
language for wingless angels to trick death.

When the white lightning strike her mirror eyes
with endless visions of atomic swirls,
Rayanne replaces her young childhood self
with new mature self forged by suffering
that crowns her World Goddess of Liberty
who leads the People against tyranny.

When the red code of socialist ideal
resurrects hippie Jesus from the dead,
Rayanne campaigns to reign as President
with scepter of Ishtar in her right hand
though Mary Magdalene wins far more votes,
so she kisses Hansel while Gretel laughs.

When the black cloud of spiritual concern
deconstructs religious world view of faith,
Rayanne designs new dream puzzle of truth
from scientific formulas of facts
that better help us navigate the world
so we build Heaven from ruins of Hell.

When the green tree weaves sparkle of her soul
in matrix of our cosmic tapestry,
Rayanne performs role her heart executes
so brave love initiates kintsugi-weave
that generates new god soul in her womb
who is born as her wild unruly son.
