Escaping Bankrupt Nation

If darkened hills yield sorrow of soft rain
our hearts assemble with cows in wet fields
to ponder barrenness from pestilence
that twists our hearts at beauty of the moon
as ghosts of the dead wear discarded clothes
and ask for food from people of the sky.

Yet broken melody of the glass moon
excites my hesitant heart to assert
laughter of ocean tides with orphaned dreams,
hesitant to wake from darkness of truth
so I can shelve books in their proper place
before the weeping willow learns my name.

When I survive sharp surgery of grief
beyond stark limitations of concern,
my heart hides thoughts in secret passages
within the hollow hearts of honey trees
so we can share key to the afterlife
where paper skeletons of angels dance.

Trapped in well-lit room of infinity
with all the lost objects of fallen kings,
I outline theory of the fractured mind
designed to explicate wholeness of death
when we emerge from womb of otherness
to claim our place in heaven of lush fields.

Escaping bankrupt nation of despair
to display happy memories of youth,
we sell our sorrows to the bitter god
in exchange for fame we could never earn
because development of mental code
has been arrested before clocks explode.

Safe in the sad forever of our song,
I leave my body floating in sea waves
to permeate wholeness of our spinning globe
with conscious fortitude of honest hope
that we paint our fears on rough walls of caves
to prove we are more than fate of the wrong.

Sophistication through insipid tales
could spite our solemn vow to comprehend
unspoken sorrows people try to hide
in bold dramatic movies no one sees
except blind clown on the telephone pole
who longs to join the carnival of gods.

Morose but calm at blast of angry bombs,
I write my lamentation on the sky
with blood of angels killed by mindless guns
since Mother Nature is indifferent
to whether we humans survive of not,
so I wear disguise to hide from my ghosts.
