i am wires,
stretched long
like the candlelight
of Beat saints
and the sacred
hearts of the Gone;
mad sky eyes
darting back & forth
taking in everything
like singing snakes
and the cartoon-voiced
preachers and the
sacraments of the 5am mist,
trying to wring it all
into a grand structure,
so that i could
with one wave of my hand
define and catalyze everything
into holy light and madness—
the staggering beauty which,
in my greatest moments, i perceive
with utter clarity.
