Record Another Testament

Everywhere I go in my daily life
I sense the Universe is watching me,
so I act like the star of my own show,
controlling everything I say and do,
but nothing ever results, so I laugh
and make weird faces at the empty sky.

Every afternoon I walk to the street
and check the mailbox of my hungry heart
to see if the holy angels of God
have sent me letters that explain the Why,
but all I get are brochures, store coupons,
and applications for bank credit cards.

I hold the sacred language of the world
that squirms in my hand with ocean-wet scales
and stares at me with gold demonic eyes,
so I explain my sorrow to Moon Witch
who teaches me to translate songs of waves
to tangled sentences no one comprehends.

With hands I measure objects that exist
to find familiar spirit of the wind
constrained by clustered forms of ecstasy
which vibrates buzz of passion from my bones
when I dance with irregular respect
on stage of the sea-desert in the void.

Through startled jaggedness of secret codes
I improvise the reason we exist
from whispered colors of the singing sand
that flow in wrinkled tides of ardency
despite how fast trees crack all parking lots
to free our brains from knowledge of the book.

Though I go everywhere freely on Earth
I can never go back where I came from,
for I must always loop the spiral road
forth into swirling mists of Avalon
where I record another testament
that represents the Ungod of my brain.

Your story enters my heart at your touch
so I carry burden of your mute joy
entrapped in charcoal cavern of my heart,
yet I assert respectful narrative
contrived by fairies of the weeping tree
to soothe shared hurt with prayers of honesty.

If we perform our predetermined roles
on crowded stage of social fantasy,
we might not make it home on time to watch
election of the poet laureate
who chants the fatal elegy of love
that records the fall of America.

Orpheus records his testament in scrambled code of riddling runes that only holy angels disguised as swamp toads comprehend.
