Dark star crashes
pouring its light
into ashes
Reason tatters
the forces tear loose
from the axis
Searchlight casting
for faults in the
clouds of delusion
shall we go,
you and I
While we can?
Through
the transitive nightfall
of diamonds
Look for awhile
At the China Cat Sunflower
Proud-walking jingle
In the midnight sun
Copper-dome Bodhi
Drip a silver kimono
Like a crazy-quilt stargown
Through a dream night wind
Krazy Kat peeking
Through a lace bandana
Like a one-eyed Cheshire
Like a diamond-eye Jack
A leaf of all colors plays
A golden string fiddle
To a double-E waterfall
Over my back
Comic book colors
On a violin river
Crying Leonardo words
From out a silk trombone
I rang a silent bell
Beneath a shower of pearls
In the eagle wing palace
Of the Queen Chinee
No more time to tell how
This is the season of what
Eight-sided, whispering-hallelujah hatrack
This the time of returning
Thought jewels, polished and gleaming
Six proud walkers on the jingle-bell rainbow
This the time, past believing
The child has relinquished the reign
Four men writing with fingers of gold
Now is the test of the boomerang
Three girls waiting in a foreign dominion
Tossed in the night of redeeming
Riding in the whalebelly, fade away in moonlight
Sink beneath the waters to the coral sands below
