We can all be good.
\nThe rough beast crawling towards Bethlehem
\nsays, “You should.”
\nBut we can let it go,
\nface in the wind, rain, and snow,
\nas the falcon of our soul soars off Kilimanjaro.
\nThe distant bells
\nare Black Sea shells,
\nand her lips sail closer
\nas we fall deeper
\ninto a dreamless sleep, dryer than the Sahara,
\nonly broken up by the sparkle of the Sun lasered sand
\nthat the beast remembers as a once fruitful land.
\nAt once we transcend Pharoah’s gold
\nand the story of Yusef that’s been told
\nof falling in a well and into Egypt being sold.
\nIt doesn’t hold as much for us anymore now that the fire
\nhas colored the mountain and drinken from the well
\nof thirsty distraction that’s blinded to the veil
\ncovering the passage to the Promiseland.<\/p>\n
We hold true to these words,
\nheart given to each other,
\nand our congregation formed like a ring of birds.<\/p>\n
One for the Trinity two for the show
\nthree to take the chances so that all can know.<\/p>\n
Isis can hold us up even as she nurses the productions of time
\nin search of her husband the divine.<\/p>\n
We sit on the throne, a Supernova
\nthat produced all this gold,
\nas the serpent slithers towards Rome.
\nPtolemy falls from the Alexandrian stacks
\ncarrying the Moon and stars on his back.
\nSomeone such should know
\nthat the Caliphs have buried his secret scroll.
\nThe priests drown the halls in chants
\nas the prince discovers the burning bed.
\nEach Irish maidens’ beauty more spectacular than the next
\nas Olympus opens each door to the morning breath,
\nand Demeter sprints to Avalon
\nwith the message of Aquinas’ last glance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
