Blue Lands
There was a man from desert lands
His eyes were in the palm of his hands
He raised his hands and looked at you
His eyes were periwinkle blue
You couldn’t think of what to say
His eyes were shining gamma rays
The universe was turning blue
The longer that he looked at you
The lovely eyes inside the hands
Of the man who came from desert lands
Led you down a sapphire road
Your brain was nearing overload
And then…
There was a girl came from the west
Her mouth and lips between her breasts
She opened her shirt to speak to you
Her lips were painted sapphire blue
You were trying not to stare
But the unknown language in the air
Made you raise your hands and gaze
At sapphire lips with gamma rays
She took your hands and blocked your sight
Her eyes became as dark as night
You kissed the lips between the breasts
Of the lovely girl from the west.
And then…

Panthalassa surrounds Pangaea
Tectonic emotions underground
Transgression of water, Disintegration
Echoes of motion, echoes of sound
Geologic formations underwater
The marginal sea flows into the land
Shallow warm water. Microbial life forms
Paleozoic analysand
Mass extinction
Annihilation
The unfamiliar world
Tropical forest Lies below
Holds its breath
Awaits the holy fire
Lizard-like creatures, reptilians crawling
Corals and rays in the shallow sea
Cicadas and beetles, ginkgo and palm trees
The permian sun shines down on me.
Dog-toothed animals In congregation
Hunting in tribes in the desert plains
Massive volcanoes, atmosphere clouded
Oxygen lost, and few remain.
Still forever transmutated
Awakening the world
Layers of stone holding the secrets
Recording the moment
Of the holy fire

Less Time

Less time than it takes to say it, less tears than it takes to die; I’ve taken account of everything,
There you have it. I’ve made a census of the stones, they are as numerous as my fingers and some
Others; I’ve distributed some pamphlets to the plants, but not all were willing to accept them. I’ve
Kept company with music for a second only and now I no longer know what to think of suicide, for
If I ever want to part from myself, the exit is on this side and, I add mischievously, the entrance, the
Re-entrance is on the other. You see what you still have to do. Hours, grief, I don’t keep a
Reasonable account of them; I’m alone, I look out of the window; there is no passerby, or rather no
One passes (underline passes). You don’t know this man? It’s Mr. Same. May I introduce Madam
Madam? And their children. Then I turn back on my steps, my steps turn back too, but I don’t
Know exactly what they turn back on. I consult a schedule; the names of the towns have been
Replaced by the names of people who have been quite close to me. Shall I go to A, return to B,
Change at X? Yes, of course I’ll change at X. Provided I don’t miss the connection with boredom!
There we are: boredom, beautiful parallels, ah! how beautiful the parallels are under God’s
Perpendicular.

Satellite
Satellite, floating by
Up in the sky
Ever so high
Watching the
Universe….
Tell me what you see.
Orbital plane is in my brain
Passing by Mars
Off to the stars
Watching the
Universe….
Tell me what you see.
I am all forms of matter and energy
all of space and time is what you
can know but not understand
My four dimensions enclose you like loving hands
that you can’t see
Open your mind and find that you are inside
