MESSENGER

Will you cross the state line with me
There are other lines more ancient
Ley lines and horizons set by other suns

To know beginnings is sufficient
A word sown
And the word was hung

12 above 24

The room between your ears
Is the only room that exists
Until the door beneath the arch is opened

21 above 42

A bird flew in the open window
And fought itself in the mirror
And exhausted fell into the fire

24 above 12

The angry crowd of the thorny crown
Only feels self pity
Not the wretchedness of true misery
Not the parch razors of waterlessness
Not the bloat of stomach on an empty road
Nor love without return

Show me where the Bible says
Sheep will lay down with lion

Transcend sheep and lion become

What faces do you see in the light
What faces in the dark
Are they not amongst us

Hate me if you must or worse
For I am but a messenger
And this but my verse
Written by whale
