At the Beyond

[line counter : miniwebtool.com/lineCounter :42lines] 


It is here at the point where no life exists
where shadows lurk and life is made
while Creation does nothing but watch itself 
in a hole that never ends

Ether dances and joke at beginnings of dust 
as we bring to life that which longs to smell 
misty dew, try luck and fate on stages of illusion 

Here we eat pomegranates in custard 
apple skin, breathing in salty spice from 
pink peas in tunnels of horns
here throats are channels of finality
columns of joy in hope

Here silence is the loveliest sound
sights contest to bloom on trees of golden chandeliers and flimsy nightgowns after 
dinner mints

At this point of open fluid blueness
sightless serpents mingle with  lights down 
their spines
bracken love is made then broken like 
crockery on a shelf overburdened with fear 

At the beyond orange magic exists in 
hair without roots, round and round
in bones without marrow, mouth to tail 
as God puts together noses and arses
makes granite curves with candy floss fingers

Here man is woman, woman man
goddesses in curls and red sequined 
slippers witness Tarzan at work eating
pineapple with prickles, tongue to tongue

Here a point becomes the only space 
space falls into time, time into circles
numbers into letters, letters into nothingness 
while black Persian cats cavort on blankets 
of faith

At the beyond things jump and don’t move
spring by standing still, guitar notes run 
along in blessed focus, locked in flights 
of danger

Here you fall and fall, scream a soundless scream ~ blond lashes in a teacup filled 
with ovum and sperm, where a flame is 
not a straw to hang on

At the beyond, it is so
