Spilling Glass Tears of the UltimateA Poem by NightShadeUnexpected Transmutations of my Big Toe!
Melted wall mirrors form liquid reflections
spilling streams of abrasion on beaches Foaming under pressure the tides ebb and flow A sparrows tail can be grasped like a lion teasing spheres or parting a wild horses mane as one presses mountainous forms For I examine magic needles picked up from seabed basements and flap like white storks reeling the Emperor's silk Strike the tiger and yield glorious flight; whipping the Earth lustily for the pallid serpent to slither on Hands ripple like clouds and take the Papal Bull by the horns descending like dragons whose tongues stab the sun The Regal monkey may be repulsed by dire strumming of untuned guitars Never fret though. Just catch avian Spirits and gently release spears Bloodstained palms reveal the Phoenix who rises and pushes us to carry that wounded tiger back up the mountain We sweep up the dust of our travels to and fro and breathe the eternal cycles of all Men in Heaven and Earth © 2011 NightShadeReviews
