Uxorious mandrakes drowning
in deciduous ambergris,
the reft dross and rathe casque
with contrapuntal evanescence
and druidic differences
in conjunction
with analytic paralysis
allow reverse face-lifts
when old is vogue;
the nicotine mendicants
bumming cancer from strangers
while a cricket symphony stops
under heavy grass flattening boots;
the joyous rage of engagement
wants to be a ghost in nature
yet active as nature too
finding a way to take
the mind’s misdemeanors
joining the spiders
underneath the bridge,
while a twilight bat, an early riser
flies through webs on street signs
such a penurious agglomeration, salubrious parsimony,
mellifluous, indigent, and prepossessed largesse
proprioceptive epicycles and arcs;
the clinician’s ebullient etiology
produces a stultified meniscus,
a priapic iconography full
of sagacious simulacrum
as loathsome gastropods
rule the planet;
anamnestic via ersatz profundity
in a sinister harmonic basis
yielding complex chromatic dissonance
though the moon can smile or frown
or be as enigmatic as a luminescent poker chip,
a touch of darkness interlarded with valuation
in any church, tariqa, sangha, synagogue or ashram;
bejeweling an already perfect face,
emerald eyes wink at how nothing is free
in the economy of the cosmos.
