When Once.....

aDarkerMind



when once walked king of atlas on the echoed voice

a journey plagued beneath the rocks of snow and vision

came unicorn with toadstool hands for wilderbeast to pamper

as the orchard fed her twisted bon voyage;

the ill contempt of persistant moon with monocle

grows glands for seas to swim with grave of rapture

gods hair of jingles mangled on a chorus of the wave

where seagulls halved as walnuts strong as falcon

flys' winters eyes into the setting of the midday thaw;

the coral winds of bison casting salt on the mad sex

snowing seed as tall as iceberg to the fossils mood

ancestors dead as doorbells on the climate of this new

evolution for the backside of the science;

how great be mammoths' footprint on our carbon?

new light through windows old as death of eden

the sculptured hands of ice on the flaming rain

bites werewolf teeth on the frozen neck of tundra

feeds afterthought to the sundial of the stem cell;

how safe our queen of earthquake as she melts our flatulence

as her guide dogs blind the screening of our cancer?

bend backwards steel of earth-bone to the core of the green-eyed tusk!

play god to the lines of laughter on the playground wall

watch the penguins poledance naked on the wool of mammoths' skull

watch the venus of the hunchback pocket flowers for the fly

how soon to match the fingerprints of gemini?
