Lost Lake Odessa

My world spins round too fast most times from Greek deep roots on Black Sea ports crossing Jordan's River on Catherine's Great trains meet sailboats greeting sea planes flying off to sports unknown throughout Lake Odessa Highway. Where Ottomans blend Spanish matadors, heroes for Earth's day and night bleeds forth a calvary of SunGod force to please titillating whims of Lake Odessa's middling class czarinas. I can't go home again to straight places never born. My mind can wavey roam and try to swim and fly to where and what and whom and why we might have been if we had built a fine fair fortress for peace that loves to rock and sing sad songs of what brilliant sights have been in resilient Lake Odessa. Instead of gangs and clicky clacks we learn monopolistic quacks to flap and honk like disturbed Canadian geese Transubstand she ate where great America begins to end through Lake Odessa's mean clean streets Not too busy self-righteous sleep deprived and deprogrammed lose to lose to win our way back home again where Lake Odessa healthy meets and wealthy greets Love's polyamorous EarthMother role as played by odysseys of We writing comic operas only eros kids can consensually see was what Me loved most secretly in long lost Lake Odessa. We need a better god for now bringing peach tree jams singing immortality of love as healthy wise Reframes lost unwealthy loves to live in jesting jarring jokes of honeyed sweet corn thorn tested streets tasting ancient salad Greeks on shores of Lake Odessa. We reunion back to save each other from what might have been without sly rudders Tipping posts from wu wei mothers restoring crystal castle love of unformed flows that buzz with lifetime mystery and retiring tours that sag with straightline history Spinning sprays bewitching licking waves lapping soft and sandy on long gone sacred skies of sanguine Lake Odessa.
