fire star opposition

fire star opposition

there is solace in mystery?!

gather all tenses

mesmerized near the equator,

eyes peer on opposition.

blinking fire star of two faces,

rough- smooth-

portent of bane, grief, war, and murder

patterns upon patterns

 

trace- hang-

from the coathanger

asterism in far off constellation.

warlike circle with arrow

symbol of the past

frozen in amber and glass,

connect the dots musky little fox,

eventually, everything falls from chaos

into patterns.

 

there is solace in mystery!

gather all senses

past, present, future

eyes peer at far off triangle

moving through that place,  

objects in an expanding universe

faster- faster-

in the dark matter, a prismatic gleam

pulling scorpio apart

tumbling through time, a vouchsafed mosaic.

 

there is solace in mystery!

complexity, complexity, complexity

out past the senses,

thought rained white radiance

through the dome. streaming bright beam

opens into the youthful mind at large,

unveiling free from the filtering brain

of reduction striving for simplicity.

out past the tenses

all twelve mysterious men

ghosting her in ochre

begged to walk ladyblue

along the curve of the shattered moon.

 

out past organized play

free from distillations,

eyes glance back at the western extremity

of our known galaxy,

where human memories unmake all thirteen.

existing in some eternal catharsis,

eyes peer on the rough side

of mars rise disturbing

molten volcanic bulge of tharsis.

 

thirteen stand in some future

quickening drinking mars water.

her blue fire slips

through twelve mysterious hands

down sill flows and tunnelling laccolith

forced- stuffed-

back through the filtering planet of the mind.

the whole is greater than the sum of its parts!

operating globally, touch the coherent monolith

with the few that chose to die on mars.

prismatic blue mixes in iron red fringing,

royal star guides all twelve mysterious men

sensory gating saturn, antares, and wars.

chant three days of darkness,

 

there is solace in mystery!

out past the limbic system

viewing vivid movie reels

of the play of consciousness,

ball lightning from high above

squeezes back into biogenesis.

egoless- singularity-

hidden authentic being

an artefact of morphogenesis,

filtered through traumatic play

a once immutable mind carved new stone

and together they had thwarted the gods.

 

chant three days of darkness,

vega, deneb, altair,

summer star triangle

riot of flowers

swimming obliviously over the beasts,

trees, rocks, fish, and the cow.

an occasional wolf howls

noticing the closeness of the fourth

planet from the sun.

tree-toads finish ringing

motionless in the muddy meadow.

rain, hot dry petrichor

and a censer of earthly smells

swung out on the landlocked breeze.

how far can the wind blow

ripples of browns and blue

glassy octopodes?

 

there is solace in mystery!

swirling across the hargrave crater

far from the mare of erythraeum,

cast back in earthly hues

crescent of ashen light

pain- suffering-

between the thighs of venus.

chasing her beautiful pentagram

twin symbol, feminine

circle on top of cross

quietly drips from the shadows.

mystery stretches into the dusky land,

a dark silent companion of solace

crashes on the rock in dawn’s slow cry.

evening stretched out her last hand

and the stars slipped from the sky.
