THE QUINTESSENCE

1.
"Oh Mighty Mighty!--you
sure look / Good tonight..."

When James Brown Yelps
HEY!
And sometimes you got to
when you feel it 
getting down
that funky-fresh-flow groovy
groove is in the heart
of hearts of mother
(of fathers - who also know - love)
We band 
together under
                           One Sky-father-mother-Earth
Word?
For the birds... "So get on up!" 
Be---a living machine 
with dreams of all things
yet imagined / to be --scene, yet not seen...

You are home to me.

2.
Take a look-see 
In and through your own telescope
the magic of galaxies
far away dreams
                 The rings of Saturn
cosmic stuff made of stars
beyond this drab daub of a pebble

Supernovae

That's what we become
un-imaginable - Wonders - Awe
by the Light / blinded / in the dark is
a mind with no heart.

So preacher what you know?
Take me to mass/service
             (Junky Bible needle words
                sticks out tongue
                because the money pays the bills)
And still,
Out there is Scary-big
Space-Time
The Infinite
Its cold vast Silence / Say nothing / shhh...
you've gone (lost) to kill yourself
Still the Masterpiece shines your light
Within Without (breaking nails)

Without sight we are merely
the Walking Dead gawking
attracted to Loud
                     explosion - sounds - brain - flesh
So desperate to reach it
so reach out...
At the light so bright / truth is:

3.
If you've got no Bic
any tiny flick
flash of candle-wick
Have no Halogen no halo glow
you're blind in the dark
absolutely
                quality is unbecoming 
when none of them have the truth / is
bright is light...

Who what when how
or where - are you now?
Still only a mold of clay, waiting 
for your hands

Not yet even
a meteor floats amok
Nor yet from a dwarf --to a star...
oh lil Celebrity fire!

4..
The glow I see
Within you (beyond burning)
tho' outside of you unbecoming
your Heart of Gold
is still worthy of so 
much
more than something
(going blind)

Oh Mighty Mighty!
I dance the body 
Electric-you
Always still All my Love 
is you
and someone else may
            Hey-yelp! 
            "Just you was doing you!"
For you...

Rather I will paint the galaxies

The Lovely
The Art 
The Quintessence

Lively  

(rays of your heart)
