Heat Weaving the Dream


With laughter of the purest linen
Wrap the burns of living words 
Charred stumps of grammar all 
The smoking acres of desolated syntax

See bourgeois fire march and sing
The Internationale
See the flags of rebellion

Heh-heh-heh

O finally the river meets
The moon unfailingly at the cold
Infinite margins of poetry

How the song unfolds quite likely similes
Like tiny smiles pouring from a rainspout
Distant disaster held once more at bay by such
Small gestures of natural affinity

Somewhere near there waits
Somewhere always waits near there
Along comes a centaur to wait there too

It’s beautiful to have chosen
Ain’t it?
