Dogwood Tree

 

I'm' a simple man

With simple mind.

I wander in my flesh.

And watch the Dogwood bloom

Upon the Tomb

Of Father, Son, and Holy Jest.

In quest for truth

Three questions

Three

Supplied by yonder Dogwood Tree:

"A door?"

"A lamp?"

"A Demon Key?"

All answered yes to set

Me

Free.

A door, a lamp, a demon key...Three powerful symbols. All things we must encounter if we wish to find truth.

The rhythm of this poem is superb. It's in trochaic meter all the way throughout, and ends on a free-floating accented syllable that really gives it closure. There is power in brevity--no quantity of musings can better capture the immutable than can a handful of well-chosen words and symbols.

This is your most ambitious album to date.
