Saturn Displays it Fondness for Mystery

saturn displays its fondness for mystery
|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|

mercurial movements of
times embroidered presence
precludes any taste of goodness
which one may find
… delightfully wrapped ...
beneath layers of antique foam,

cushioning the impact of lateral wisdom-
side balls rolling relentlessly across
the imagined circumferences of latitudinal
dimensions cross-haired under the
scope of backwoods privacy, seeing
with eyes filled with fires started

by unreasonable factions dissolute
upon the avenging angels whose wings
flutter mercilessly around both ears
that cannot hear beyond the nose lengths
of hammered concepts playing tirelessly
remnants of sounds echoing with futility

across the gardens of tombstones
carved by breaths singing 'ave maria'
disengaged from premonitions regarded
by some as final answers splayed across
canvases dripping with colors fashioned
from roots and berries collected as only

circumstantial evidence brought in baskets
woven with reeds that grew in years past,
the prime of jean brodie and mickey mouse,
the disney features parlayed into anxieties
that fooled even those that trusted time
as the mea culpa-mea culpa of surrender

dreadnoughts flying against winds of summer
trying in foolish vanity to cool the heathen
brows wrinkled by doubt and senility of
belief systems packaged for the back room shelves
lined with fourteen layers of cosmic dust
as a blanket to keep warm and reasonable

the fashionable midriff in-kind word flow
that emerges whenever thought mis-displays
itself amongst the brethren of civilization
together describing the taste of eternity
in volumes of manuscripts destined for fodder
to feed the unwilling and incapable linked
by rings in a harmonious surround of
the seemingly endless journey of saturn



spinning... spinning... spinning...
an eternal twist of fate aglow (bright)

that cannot hear beyond the nose lengths...

Go! Go! GO!...
riffs straight from the center of all these careening mothers of suns...

You should have been a tank commander, Cecil B. - or one of Richard Brautigan's 8th Big Sur Volunteer Heavy Root Eaters - walking around thinking about those giant gas planets is way-out-there stuff -

...walking around thinking about those giant gas planets is way-out-there stuff -

explorations into the Outer thru the Inner require impetus from the doubters to define the imagination, carved like a freshly roasted turkey, each slice a feast for the hungry mind to gorge upon.

thx, el mingo, for your comment. as usual, I enjoyed.

heave ho, joe
for the wait
can be long
make a song
tune your own
tune your own
own your tune
own your tune

Muchas gracias, amigo....
the words spin
sometimes out of control
while control is illusion
to be dispelled so
what is beyond reveals
that beyond itself

These particular poems with long name and excessive content (!), are written in SOC, i.e. Stream of Consciousness, which I seldom have to do any corrections.

Again, many thanks for your comments.

I like that you hear the "beat jazz whirlwind" ringing in your ears. Reading this out loud also creates a rhythm equating to Mile Davis cool jazz with a spattering of his "Sketches of Spain".
