A Hippopatamus and a Rhinoceros Go into a DaydreamA Poem by HawkmoonColumns of moonlight billowing from an open wound; a ring of gold like silence, waiting on the cusp of the greenhouse where the sun has drawn a shadow around the circle of the human eye; ten Saints have translated the beginning of the book from a puzzle that hides in the trees, where there are strange languages that have yetr to be discovered; maroon lunacies and a periwinkle phantasm that contains only the white light of the lost those whose lives never arrived but lurked on the edge of their flesh like a wave trapped between crest and trough when the civilizations are advancing in random numbers and diadems of consciousness, the paint by number dream trhat races from eye to eye in an eerie surprise of worldess superstitions. Sge us European, Asian, born nowhere, draped like a veil across an open face, waiting to be born where the centuries condense, resting in a strange bed, like a bird that has no where to fly, but calles the skeleton a nest: A Zebra meteors through the daydream: revealing ten thousand possibilities. the advent of a zoologoical tapestry, some symphonic blurring of harmonies between the hippopatamus and the rhinoceros a strange geometry of god- fire, containing ten million ideas that cannot find an entrance, but that wander through the world on a whirlwind of atoms, every thought as unreal as the next
