Beyond



silent piano appears impromptu
improvising music imaginary
enhanced by night instruments
a bevy of sunrise Napoleons
wearing gold contact lenses
takes control of the revolution
assisted by carbon copy Stalinists
flinging sombreros into the air
synchronized with a thirty gun salute
sending all and sundry on conveyor belts
accompanied by visionaries and press agents
in luminous choreography
to shoals of nevernever
bellydancers cha-cha
a red cherry cyclorama
projects a history of the world
setting stage for the big blast
with archangel DJs laying down
Nubian beats funky as hell

Landscape Abstracted 



Desire, notwithstanding.  
   Await 
blossom.  Kindred                other, 
essence an oyster.  

Where the valley dips.

           STRINGS, pastoral        pastoral.    Loins 
open to interpretation              symbolic voyage

Transgress tradition to seek deeper layer.  Anything 
goes                                      there.  

Conduit.  Never ) never ) ever ( ending, ending ever
