Trying to stop time <br>with my heart. Counting moments like beads on a rosary <br>of skulls, or shepherd moons on an abacus of gravity.<br>Though I know they're not all strung out like that.<br>Asteroids on a wavelength of light, or a spinal cord.<br>Or maybe I'm just trying to bead a guitar string <br>with a great black hole, or is it a lunar pearl, <br>in the center of a lyrical abyss? Workaday world<br>in a small town, who spends their time like this? <br>Not fortunate enough to have been born a carpenter, <br>I'm a mystically surrealistic, poetic astrophyicist <br>trying to come up with a new grammar for the stars <br>so all they have to do to express their shining, <br>is say, Metaphor, and as it is in the abyss, so it is everywhere. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Because I miss you like the main clause of my relativity.<br>The focal point of all my wavelengths. You're the radiant <br>and I'm the Martian meteor shower that's dying <br>to bring the gift of life to the Antarctic like the Leonids<br>did in the first place as I look at my face in the mirror <br>and think it's time for a change of species. Sometimes <br>it's crucial to sustain a few pathetic fallacies about yourself <br>so when you're under the moonweather of an estranged planet <br>and a black star breaks through the clouds like the anti-matter <br>of a waterlily, so do you. Funny how the flowers close their eyes <br>because none of them wants to miss the eclipse.<br>One of them said we're all looking through a glass darkly <br>but I don't see any soot on their petals, <br>and none of the telescopes are wearing shades. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">I like to keep things clear in the light of the void. <br>I've come along way from the coal mines of space <br>to shine through your diamond so you can feel <br>a different kind of translucency that's eleven parts cheap thrill <br>in all the dimensions I can see you in, and one, <br>not even you, has discovered yet, that's the orphan of an exile <br>singing to himself to people the dark in a desert of stars <br>like a gnostic gospel in the mouth of a cave <br>to keep the evil jinn and bad spirits away <br>from the watersheds of my wishing wells<br>where the angels gather to mingle with the demons like water<br>they've just turned into wine. As for the other eighty-nine <br>realms of seeing and being what you see, they're shrines <br>I've devoted to you, swearing in blood and devotion <br>on the sidereal plinth of my sword, as I dedicate <br>all my prophetic skulls from the dark side of the moon<br>where the crows are wiser about lunar things than the doves, <br>to the enhancement of your radiance, your love and your art, <br>by deepening the dark, with a full heart, with things to harvest <br>that will make the abyss seem like a silo of stars you can break like bread.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Patrick+White">Patrick White</a><div class=q>
