when the soul's night
Posted: June 9th, 2013, 5:52 pm
my madness on the other side of eternity
the relevance of one condition to another
between one book end and the other
which will give us the final low down
about our delicate human show down
the only real question, to ask or not to ask
what exists simply by the act of existing
what revolution in the now compared to
what sacred text since the beginning
for the poet or the philosopher
we are paused against the sign
that points at the moon in the distance
the philosopher can gaze into it
the poet makes dime with nothing
on the city corner of time
no middle ground in the bad ink alley
you gun or you are gunned down by the word
the jazz funeral dawn is always passing by you
death rides high in the cad convertible drawn
by ghost horses with mad flaming plumes
what looms closer is the grand finale
when the soul's night resumes
I'm waiting for the traffic signal to change
so the strange procession can proceed
on its somber progression
to its last call destination
one more shot of oblivion
for the road
the relevance of one condition to another
between one book end and the other
which will give us the final low down
about our delicate human show down
the only real question, to ask or not to ask
what exists simply by the act of existing
