Fastly mork the breath of light



Do I mean to balk your teeming, 
Lease of redolent consternation, 
Really make a meal of meaning, 
Fastly mork the breath of light 

Colors word and burn like music 
All the unheard splashes faint 
Course like drops of imminent dollop
Many worlds are made of paint

Throwing thought like baking pots 
Glaze indiffident blue blue varnish 
This is beaking like a dodo 
And you’ll thank me with your hair 

On my days off 
I make sums which 
Add together 
Cube on cube 
I’m on furlough 
Like a racehorse 
Lo my vampires 
Chant and Harry 

Roses are pink 
Violets gentle 
Rabbit freeze 
In rainbow light 
When the loathsome 
Drifters mangle 
All your homework 
You can think 
Without remission 
Let that sink 
And stone the ocean 
Crow the firebird
Of your murder

Have you seen a duck in heaven 
O they gleam their feathers high 
LSD will do that to you 
She will turn your brains to sky 

Infinite space out 
Throw expanding 
Flames and motions 
Frescovalent 
Braying teardrops 
Non substantive 
Like a Kodak 
Slide and plate 

Juxtapose the hieroglyphics 
Of insouciance 
Like a flock 
Of conscious entities 
Weighing dapper 
Constellations 
Made of sherbet 
With ethereal and intuitive 
Insolent Wit
You 
Holy mackerel 
Burning Ghost.
