Earth and the Mind’s Eye


As social positions resonate
among atonal developments
ringing within common attributes
woven between delicate membranes
a new shoot sprouts from obligations and psychological frameworks
orbiting the iron cores of the inner planets…

Time becomes imbued with counterfeit events
displacing elements of conceptions
born of geodesic synchronicities
and, through experimental configurations,
replaces gray-white matter
with gestures perfectly aligned with the solar winds…

This, unfortunately, leaves behind noble properties
ranked in hierarchies
in harmonic tune to the bleeding peoples of a neglected language,
breathing melancholy moans upon satellites
traveling to new channels etched into the surface of Mars…

The choir sings a dirge
to the security police standing motionless behind a translucent surface
guarding the transfer of limbs
bent in grotesque directions
and flailing about in progressed abject misery
in response to each new supernovaic outburst…

Then a mother gives birth to small mouse-like rodents
that effortlessly chew through the fabric of this multidementional space,
striking the surface with their angry stares
aa the air resonates with the tormented choking
on thick volcanic ash
spewn forth from the bowels of the near side of Jovian Io…

Like a memory characterized by crystalline ceramics
and transforming into a molten state,
a greeting salutes the new land mass
with glacial abortions opposing the intrusion
settling at the poles of Triton…

Dim lights suggestive of female properties
betray my primal urges
silhouetted in the windowpanes
of lost civilizations;
to protect the last shred of ocular vision
I strike a blow that deflects off a large wedding cake,
and I am defeated.
I die a slow death, with arms outstretched
toward the Cassini Division in the Rings of Saturn...

Years speed by in light-fragments
skimming toward suspended aurora
tinted by the compelling charms
expertly disarming all surrounding substances
with gentle footfalls tracing paste-like hours
descending into the volatile nucleus of the mind…

As an artist consuming large numbers of people
I accept a task from a tribal chieftain
and, obtaining a sailing vessel,
skillfully navigate all that needs explaining
in terms of matter and physical phenomena
within the known boundaries of the universe…

Yet, not wishing to succumb to the assembly-line
of mountainous plateaus
I return to Spart
to burn libations to the tube amplifier gods
where I smash my synthetic experiences against the limestone cliffs
and sit quietly in pensive reflections
within the assigned cubicle
spinning behind the last remnants of the mind’s eye.

    Hmm, definately abstract. Might need to read it again...or have someone throw me a bone. Very nice wording as always though.

    And certainly I love it because of all the astronomy.
    Io, the good ol' pizza moon of Jupiter and Titan, the largest moon in the galaxy...I mean solar system...grr. I can never learn enough about space...and god forbid that I do some nice smart scientist will discover something new for me to learn.
