the dance of logos with fire
pale inert, hard cold metal
pressed by the weight of meaning
brought forth
in an echo chamber
made with a thousand faces
scrapped off the flesh
from a deed whipped like a horse
driven towards the clouds,
halts, tries to stop,
combust into a million fat worms
ingesting a dozen wings off the
eye of a decaying fly.
then the putrid stench floods the gullet
of poseidon,
wrenching his bound hands to break
free from a genie's dream
becoming the landfilled waste littered
by giants squashing juicy worms lingering
on wings unable to spread - that very act
brings about a convulsion, a spin
where the fall breaks the
mind of a dashing car cam failing to send
stored pictures of the cloud
where a horse breaks through the fluffy mess
and a knife slices galloping thoughts
still bending metal with each
burden when heaven fails to open secret wishes
from pictures not in synchronization.
sleepy giants roll about the iron
saucepan. keen on keeping out of
trouble, they tried to make eye contact
when the fire began to heat up
to cold, then warm, hot
skin that wrinkles backwards to reveal
a twisted rope, so out of shape it slipped
right through the cracks
of a heart chasing inks and swords even
when all it needs is blood
but the pump is distracted by the many rumbles
of tossing waves becoming congested with radio
frequencies ramming to the angry river whose blank
face appeared when the highway became a deadlock
where zen appeared to be a false art
of souls reaching out to touch cold silence
while the heat has become intense,
the memory gap becomes a straight line that
is seen with perfection
but the data is archived, no longer a bright flame
as the tortured giants begin to squash the shrieking
saucepan to cave - and the sky fell down upon fire's brilliance
whose time begins to dim.
embers carve the slice of time, taking up space
in the memory gap becoming solid
like a cast made from thoughts and heart
no longer blending to one arc above the miasma
still being coughed out by poseidom
snorting, heaving in large amounts of air
as he breathes out those fat worms all gone to
waste while the sick thuds of giants have begun to wake
up thoughts sliced too much by a sickening
metal blade still sizzling from a touch of brilliance
that could not linger. it sputtered, limped,
collapsed near where giants should have been -
whiffed away to endless skies still reeling from
yesterday's memory lapse of cherished desires
wrapped up in horse, sliced away - to broken wings
tainted with the death still spoiling away
with poseidom finding freedom when dead worms
burn away a genie's dream, till the pictures become
fragments of me caught up in this quarrel lost in the
way when highways get blocked with coldness
from stares too long, they have become this transmission
still calling towards heaven where
angels lay waiting by a receiver whose ears are full
of noise acting like signals - the outcome is the blank
face of a zen master whose fake name should have
given a jolt in the heart as the pump got a hint
it needed to start moving. and yes those zombie eyed
movements became the wings flattened from sitting
too long as one giant no longer moves on a boiling
pan's resistance to pressure when might was dealt with by
a signal that got passed through the many deadlocks
that held me between heaven's door and that rotting flesh
covered with gaps in memory of running horses where knives
could not reach
