Singing Scorpion Of Faith

Though sorrow erases mouth of my mind
I feel the singing scorpion of my tongue
emerge from shadow of unspoken hopes
to sting blind demon of despair with love
though misery suffocates enduring souls
who follow Eurydice from Sheol.

With tedious recitation of dream spells
in glass church of the singing scorpion
I open ten thousand mouths of the dead
who wish to partake in the sacrament
to seek dubious blessing of divine grace
embodied by ghost in the empty chair.

Impassable threshold of broken doors
obstructs progression of the hungry spy
who transcribes riddles hidden in smooth stones
based on code of the singing scorpion
who performs role of my psychotherapist
according to morals of butterflies.

Scraping political posters off walls
of cathedrals and museums with fear,
Sirius searches forest of glass oaks
for quaint cottage where Eurydice dwells
to tend garden of the singing scorpion
despite how fast the clock of her heart ticks.

Building tables, dressers, and writing desks
that shimmer brightly in gray morning fog,
Sirius tells the singing scorpion
tragic tales blind ballerinas perform
though bombs blast theater of the absurd
into fragments of mirrors without eyes.

Raspberries glisten with red dew of dawn
where the hypnotized robot princess walks
each morning in apple groves of weird fate
to feed the singing scorpion of faith
dream words she scrapes from television screens
because time blurs into false memories.

No baffling system of the government
will stop the complicated game of wealth
that Sirius plays with cheat code of faith
invented by the singing scorpion
who asks Eurydice if she would like
to rule the world as princess of the tree.

These lies we tell in tangled verse of pride
unravel with each truth we hide in eggs
refracting light rays of the cosmic wraith
in psychic bond that nurtures our respect
though we keep winding clock of charity
still controlled by the singing scorpion.

Orpheus returns from Elysium to find Sirius and Eurydice tending the garden of the singing scorpion who transforms into their daughter Ophelia.
