SELF REFLECTIVE EXPANSION OF AN OLD ARCHAIC CLICHE (7-9-16 & 2-1-18, Cathedral City (Cove), California)
if necessity
is truly
the mother
of all
invention
then surely
imagination
must be
the vital
father seed
of manifested
success
with the
yielded fruits
of such
success
being
each living
child
itself
at least
as i
suddenly
inwardly
perceived it
here now
in this
my somewhat
overly simplified
though
creatively
imagined
metaphoric
ways
intuitively sensed
freely
expressed
lesser
yet more
playful
word spawned
scheme of
things
from which
it takes
the now
long fallen
no longer
quite
as golden
archaic detritus
of old
to further
break its
essence down
to resprout
it transformed
into something
strange
yet newly
now
reborn
into simply
what
it is
something
completely new
to feel
or maybe
ponder awhile
upon
or
perhaps
only just
another
ghostly echo
sung
out into
the ever
hungering void
of the
too rapidly
devolving
long suffering
dissolving
once more
eden like
realm
of this
now possibly
irreperable
temporal world
even if
its sighing
its pleading
and crying
dying
last gasps
are never
heard
at all
much like
the history
of this
constantly troubled
now too
hard fallen
to pick
itself
back up
again
oh so
illusory worlds
quickly
fading
silent ripple
soon
enough now
trailing off
into some
unknown
peaceful
nothing
or who
knows
what
who can
even say
maybe
like this
poem
itself
through necessity
imagination
deeper vision
and
inspiration
it too
might somehow
manifest
itself
reborn
up from
the essence
of its
fallen
archaic detritus
into
something
wholey
even holy
new
more golden
glowing
than it
ever was
before
more pure
and radiantly
sublime
than mankind
can even
begin
to imagine
with
or without
us
to ever
know
or not
at
all
