THE CHOICE
here I arrived, breath away
boldly stepped out of a
Blue Train, not waiting for
fellow passengers with
tedious conversations about
Hemingway, Trump or Berlin
not that these were served on
gilded plate, croissant hot
excitement dissolved into
foreboding, pain shattered
into peace ~ bliss on cards
an endless journey had end
after all, dissolution, age
equalled superfluous suffering
red ticks on calculus
examination page or liver
cancerous touching purity
exactitude, tip of Excalibur sharp
deadly, yet where I belonged
safe, lived a hundred lives or more
many in solitude, silence, secrecy
violence, dandelions, oracled
yin and yang
exploded into nothingness
white illuminating black entwined
stillness contained all sound, shadows
spirals, twenty four strands when
tabulating masculine and feminine
pleiadian, venusian or chinese
even sprinklings of orionese, feathery
hieroglyphs became ash, fire
flashed into stardust figments, a
millionth of a blinking second
whether charioteer voted redhead
corn head or wily smiley in a
country of dollars or mid-
crisis continents, islands, cities
were zigzag ladybird questions
embedded in olive branches
fleas on unkempt poodles barking
archangels, eight majestic wings
of rainbow light twirled with
archaeologists, crooks, historians
status, hierarchy mattered not
whimsical altars in faraway
wonderlands where writers
recreated Alice whilst filmmakers
negotiated budgets ignorant
that movies were mere magical
etheric moments bound in
akashic records
slavery before management
business before marigold majesty
hierophants before Brahman
footprints treading Truth tabled
singularity contained the All
loops into Void embracing
once upon time a leather jacket
journey cracked its own codes
crumbled under pressure of
a cross, exploded bones
fleshless, as hazel eyes became
saucer satellites …
explorers, tourists, passengers
no return once revelry is
lived or meditation mastered ?
the point of no return, brilliant
or dull, polite or crude equals zero-
one sequences ~ music, sky, planets
at this point charioteer or train passenger
is gifted with THE Choice … return or bathe
forever in never-never Centre
Pointless
