Pearl fire of aqua language
Poets purge unconscious forms
Wings of ethereal justice
Mercy in her piercing eyes
Stone lions chase ravens
The claws of silence
Forever past in granite
The wind hides legacy
Voices of a sapphire sea
Gardens where forgiveness lives
Trench warfare is over
Below the equinox we weep
By palm trees and ice
Egyptian mummies wake
She hands me a vision
Vision lacking all men's freedom
Dreams found in mystic soul
Mortal fear wrestles with time
All the gates are locked
By the fountain a golden flower
Dialogue with Dante's Inferno
Winds of Shelley's thorns
Poseidon sails in a slave ship
Spartacus meditates vengeance
Myth becomes shields for armies
Pirates steal Caesars sword
Opium ships bring their cargo
Denizens read Verlaine
Virginia Woolf in a cafe
More perfect union for the rich
Visions of Voltaire
Autonomous Atlas lifts the world
Symbols and dreams
The fog lifts
Clowns swim with mermaids
Every one needs dreams
Escape to the islands
Look over the precipice
Let your dreams create
Escape from self torment
Dharma mountains rise
Genuflect in neurotic salvation
Holy water with fluoride
The womb of peace
Adults suck their thumbs
Deep in caves of Greek enigma
Collective unconscious circles
The mirror of gravestones
On the road gamblers shine
Heroes like an inner road
Poet readings
Beats tap their feet to jazz
Shadows drive the wind
The magic hour fades
Biographies of bold alleys
The bells of Notre Dame ring
By the Seines painters laugh
Porcelain shrines with flowers
Towers with winding stairways
Hands tied by stolid fate
All these questions hide
Sometimes stars look like ice
Ideals punished by the clock
Here comes the tide
Washing everything
All this desolate stench
All this waste
Now the sun seems the same
Centuries move like angels
What really matters is the day
Ancient alphabets
Written on time
Time to live because time
Only has so much time
