I spy another world…and another…….and another
beyond this one
of luminous beast
and check pointed illusion
here is captured light
spawning
vociferous chatter
adorning
high ceilings with natural drama
now
dropping into our cave we journey
unarmed
but for our fearful weapons
our brightly decorated, flaccid spears
hollow controversial elements
reflect internal wars
and visions flow like water across our limestone walls
this is a world where birds make laws
and foxes follow
The sky’s flip like files
no skin properly separates
toes are numb and cold feet slip
even seated
foolish seeking of silence
sluices through
silver armour
made of dew
you
row row row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily merrily merrily merrily
life is but a dream

The sheer unbelievable gorgeousness and playfulness of this poem astounds me. I felt like I was somewhere else – and it was a great place, when I was young and there was a bucket of hope hanging off every tree branch. I often feel like I live in an abstraction, as though my ideas are nonsensical and I don’t really belong here, so maybe I instead belong in this dream your rowing towards. I hope so.

you belong in this dream. only a few live here and they EMBRACE nonsense. anyway ‘reality’ is so much weirder than we are supposed to believe.
I have faith that we can make a million worlds of this world and it doesn’t exist in the way we think it does… there you go , unscramble that neuronic mess 🙂 I’m happy feeling my way to some kind of truth. The kind that can only be sensed not necessarily seen

Hmmm, let’s call this a revisit. I would float some applause over the ocean if I could, but you’ll have to settle for a insane jealousy and unabashed admiration. Sorry, them’s the breaks.
