Is the Oracle wise
the Buddha fat
or the Great
Niagara wet
Description wanes
where titan’s reign
as words are left
to falter
And blow upwind
against the grain
in messages
— sublime

to a sweet navel of glutinous oracle
sticks the fairytale makeup
because the model caressed the tree
since the model recognizes the apple
as the model eats the grass

The twigs of March drip,
and dangle ~ late in the day,
birdsong returns
as if from the dead.
New veins leach in the leaf
sap-sweet offerings.
Earth worms curl in oracle rings,
rise up from the mud,
and nurse the wet soil
as it gives birth....

I stand before the oracle
as the oracle sits before me
giving me a tiny clue unto my destiny
but her answer to my questions
is ambiguous and obscure
yet I wonder how I didn't see it there before

The twigs of March drip,
and dangle ~ late in the day
birdsong returns
as if from the dead.
New veins leach in the leaf

Earth worms form oracle rings;

ominous skies of gloom
orbit through my head
obsessive while oblivious
ornery dragons and 
offspring hovering
o’er lofty castles 
obtusely perched in
opulent misty glens
of opportunistic prophecy

An orange and tan 
orangutan
with origins
that span
to Pakistan
orates flimflam
o'er an ornate
garbage can
ordained an oracle
by an ordered clan
to plant a plan
for their ordure
that ornaments
said garbage can
the ornery orangutan orotundly
upon does scan...

Senses feel sweet springtime festival
Rapture knows joy sentimental
Cheer opts deep dance oracle
Surge of urge in fond sights
Know the truth that lights
Flash of fine flights
Style mood swings
Jazz flings

lest i be nearer to my death 
i could love you no less
as my wild eyes dance
gazing under 
the swaying willows
apon my pillows 
i would beckon 
tommorrow tommorrow
only within the mere sorrows
that i shall wander amids 
heaven's oracle mist
why in my presence now...

The heron is the color
of a November morning.
Fog wets the river rocks.
Fossils faintly echo
a grey past.
I shall take one stone 
home,
to look
through its waterworn hole
and perhaps 
see
the future.

Cassandra’s groom was calling to her, but she did not hear him
She had entered a natural trance when she entered the grotto
She was now Pythia, high priestess of the Temple of Apollo
The most powerful oracle among the ancient Greeks
Gleaning her directions from all knowing cool waters...

May the wisdom of the serpent be thine,
For it is closest to earth,
Representing healing.


May the wisdom or the raven be thine,
For its initiation
Into the Druid clan.


May the wisdom of the eagle be thine,
Bird of the oak and the Sun,
Renewal and courage.

Mystical Music

magic melody
musical movement meters
measure memories


Notes

nocturne novel
new notations not noticed
no noises nothing

Opus

overpowering
open oracle outcry
odorously odd
