If my body could
Plunge
Beneath the
Magnificent bowels of
The Grand Canyon
To be pressed by
Such empirical crags
As formed by wicked rivers
I would let it
If my soul could
Flee to the
Murky expanse
To make bed in
The mansion of the
Fire-orbs on night
Kept by the weightless
Sentinels
Holding melancholy court
With honored guests
With brilliant snow-light burst
Tails, whispering
The silent code of
Forever
I would let it
If my mind could
be enveloped
In the serene chaos
Of the ocean
Serenaded by
The gray sun
Twisted with drop
Of cool
Flowing down
To the purple
Midnight sky
Turned upside down
And bled to life
Giving birth to
Yellow eyed children
Born of slick veins
Coming forth from
The scorned heart of
Earth, from his core
Entertained by
Blue-greenery dancing
In stationary hills
I would let it
To separate my being
I might save it
From unsurmountable evils
Of love, joy, peace
So when they are destroyed
They know not
The pain of such destitution
And can rest
And not be touched
By agony
So I would let them
Be I perish in the
Effort
So be it
Let them.
