meet me on high in limpid luminescent sky
from whence you’ll catch my twigs perhaps
there I cloudless am guided to harlequin horizons
precision wings gliding pearly path to clarity’s
timeless apex called unearthly eos heaven
our mahogany missions in photons seared
at azure axis of Giza activate starseeds dear
akasha includes human evolution tough treading nucleic space unfolding quantum revolutions
silence training crystalline separation ablutions
from camel cities to towns to villages I journeyed
watching singular souls salute each other singing
higher and finer purer my lilac lustre of landings
serpentine eyes or voices enticing echoes eerie
could not I haste as Serapis trained ego regal
ibis hailed my flight not to descend fair fluid until
perfection in paint, poems or hanging gardens
comprehend stillness as only temple anointing
observing contests crack Artemis’ ghost glass
secretly glanced, to witness lighthouse looming
strength of waft wings or talons or beak tearing
colossus own to back bear alone as did I hearing
key kites sigh on ages defunct by density’s plea
acting ruck roles to ease then displease with lids
of lead mixing oofy oysters with sauce to endorse
since connection was ordained before breath
pattern given escape, unknowing or forgetting
not a possible route to rivers Alexandria pass
journals, dombras, wheat fields nothing will last
intoned instructions calling from eagle’s mast
now I sit not in wait in fridge of bare bones
arum alone with fake mausoleum art pert alert
to blurb with fish moths and earthworms inert
for colourful catch up you pay must in brick and
mortar, reducing tootle time in sparkling waters
coded challenge of eagle in spirit not psychology
beta biology a kaleidoscopic passing tetractys
we cannot royal resist, since our own choice
rejoice for entwined experience of exclusion as
illusions when Sekhmet shifts secret sand sagely
solitary eagle will hover to unambiguous pounce
an orchid ounce of dust not to be slip missed
bubbles blush blow in bellows of certain change
shadowy spider figures with irises of fetish fear
manipulation or manic manifestation easy near
so meet power eagle’s challenge frontal facing
base aces of absolute aero atoms roaring racing
become free fond frond under dripping dome
of learning for curving a spuming Heart home
~ paradise uncut is plunging a rosy tinkling ~
