arctic light blues




paul bunyan would have loved this silver eternity …
the rubbing of the wings of bodhisattva flies
( flies are the supreme bodhisattvas)
in the purple twilight of pocahontas and cabeza de vaca

thumbing rides
on brooklyn bridges of li po enlightenment
over rainbows of rheingold beer bottles

as the spiders of nothingness
crawl through the beard of john greenleaf whittier
passed out on the sidewalk of heaven

and the bing bong
bix beiderbecke
ping pong canaries
of gertrude stein

answer the burger king prayers of tao ch’ien

in the thirteenth enlightenment

or maybe the 14th arrondissement

where edith piaf
devours a smiling croissant
under the disapproving gaze

of madame butterfly
who missed the last train to istanbul

or heaven
(call back later)
