FLAME OF ASCENSION

FLAME OF ASCENSION
 

No-one can escape Flame of Ascension 
           a glance, a glimmer, a gestalted shadow
ghosts or gestures guarded Hearts to
       genteel progress on a path

It nightmares numskulls and nuns alike
         coffins cords, corners chains conniving 

Thumb tips touch those of Serapis Bey
          tippling white Flames in quantum space
as he passes with poignant eyes

“Where must sparks sagely sail now
           Great Chohan of Central Sun ?”

“To those with neptunium nerves 
                those who have mastered their minds
who stare over lambert lagoons
                                                 lbis eyed
those who will not hasten to 
         taste Tophet flesh, toxined tongues 
                  or squirm to struggle stormy seas
who live on one orange a day 
            from oozing boxes to city sites

Let Ascension Flame sparks fly fivefold
           to those who chore by candlelight 
in basements cold  
        gather guinea-fowl feathers in damp 
dawn to create wise woman wands

to those who forgive an impoverished 
                    rapist in a fitful farm hut
fathoming his fishtail hands

Let Ascension Flame sparks sail to those
            who embrace Polar Bear spirit
stirring soup for a repentant soul
          covering it with furs 
flasking it’s folly !”


No-one can flee Flame of Ascension 
someday it fleeces all spectroscopically
            pay with sweat of your sweat
palsy, petty or posh
            breath upon baptising breath 
no strut or scintillating stumble 
            skin to self-assuming skin 
spectacular sundew sing


Flame of Ascension extracts due fuchsia
       fragrance from filament files 
                 harp harmonies heightened to
a hastened hypnosis from an inexplicable 
                                  white heart field

Come
       Let Flame of Ascension flower 
fiddling fingers into interlinking 
intercurrents of Infinity’s intimacy !
