Trigonometry of Thought on the Athenian ShoreA Poem by HawkmoonIn the emerald light at the end of twilight, the Sun screams a green fantasia of Gargoyles that Guard the Night against the day, and the Hawks arrive like Secret agents balancing themselves in the wind of Human Imagination, a convergence of the exquisite artistry of the Uncreated Uncreator, seven strange birds balancing themselves in the last thermal of Light, rising in statuesque pause, their wings unfurled in ghostlike eloquence, a trapezium of sinew and ligaments of thought that race down shaded escarpments where the Wind, is waiting at Sundown to recreate the performance of Aeschylus on the Edge of the Saturnalian Void, Greek synergy transposing the names of the Angels across the surface of a world yet to arrive, plutonium clicking in the night when Plato stood on the Egyptian shore, remarking nonsense to nobody, and the Blue Flower leapt into the Empty Sky, the trigonometry of Thought.
