Moments of vision fade clean away

But a magical moment is with us, today;

Under the Volcano, we shiver and shake

Standoffishness rules, for all hearts’ ache.

And all this will cost you

Is all of your life.

Cast over the sea, cast over the moon

you’ll be reading the stars, after reading the runes.

Green shades of thought

- landscapes of the eye -

See! life’s dappledsunlight

is passing you by:

a primal scream, on the edge of a screen

monitored, modulated, nuanced

much more than it seems.

your dreambody dream

will allow you to flee.

You can’t catch me!

Murmuring voices,

still passing us by

a drift into trance — — a sleeping goodbye

our silent dance

as we move to the grave.

Can you believe, that Jesus still saves?

the apotheosis of gaze,

the opposite of glance,

a dream-time of slippage,

a macabre romance.
