The Procession of Parnassus


This procession begins…
with a breakaway from that
parade like procession…

Where the masses and the crowds
sway like ribbons in the breeze infused
sunshine… weaved through person & person
time & time – suppressing the shadows into the undertones
formulating a somnolent solace

Painful in my reminiscence
of heart rending departures
despite my deep disdain
& my pain & my insane

…  This procession descends
into the underworld
in psychedelic ceremonies
of candle lit darkness infused
drum beat cadences of the heart
bringing about terror induced
purification in a confrontation
with an entity of many forms
& faces that interacts & exacts
confessionals strait from the heart
in a place absent of all deception

…  This procession begins
with revolutions of explosions
in horizons of constellations
& pure empowerment purely
stripped of the flesh for this journey
into empty night time airs
as we are the few who dare
to know – to will – to be silent
at the base of steps in a state of ascendency

…  This procession demands
the utmost secrecy of the sacred
things that exist in seclusion purely
as preservation from the profane
in an elevated domain – entering the brain
that would perceive – that would believe
that would seek & be sought after
that would open the portal of the immortal

…  This procession ascends
each step in and of itself a universe
of a uni-verse in the letters of the universal
as my bare feet traverse each threshold
increasing in cold – in the layers of there
as I have become a careless place without a care
whether – I should live or I should die
as long as I am reaching forth for the mystery
that I have determined to be – the treasures of Heaven – heavenly
as the plurality of steps becomes…  Singularity
and we have arrived at the…  Heights hallucinatory
as the heights become an unfolding story
and an ineffable irreversible indomitable…  Glory
of stars & stars & stars & stars & stars

I came to find Parnassus

Author's Note
I believe that all poets are anointed at Parnassus and that Parnassus has a multitude of individuated forms, like a shapeshifting entity.
