New Moon Piano

Invisible Sun

He raised his hands and parted the vaporous clouds of glory and scum

And the sun shone down upon the land and blood dripped out from the bong

And dogs could be heard in the howling of the wind 

And nothing seemed to last long

The ice buckled the strip and bent back the asphalt like a dictionary

And the water ran out and the rails blew and something weird capped the tops of the trees

And the sheep ran for the center of the storm, all the while pointing white fingers at their neighbors

And the children floated in the din and raised their spoons, gesturing for the skulls of doom

King fish blew bubbles and whales called out to their long dead mothers under the wavering road of moonlight

And shells were old and turned to sand and dust 

And all the days groaned on about how the destruction was imminent

And no one spoke for fear of influencing the wave

All turned away from the game at once

And a blistering and immediate sun rose from inside and became known

And was experienced as a real and true thing

And did burn with a heavenly and holy light

An illuminated shame arose and a transformation softened the selfish pallor of the cruel

And it showed them the reason why

And vacant stares replaced their insipid cynical laughter

And the devices gathered dust and broke into pieces in the bland plastic sunrise

Myriad possibilities were lit by this new and invisible light 

And a gentleness and kindness spilled out from the dead bodies of the captious masses

And an orange glow was seen on the surface of the sea

And opened were their hearts to this wonderful new heat

Like a crazy mother screaming the change happened all at once

And a new music could be sensed surrounding the twice dead shells of clay

And it awoke and broke free

And the invisible sun froze the controls of the bomb

Then water vapor filled the veins of  icy metal tubes

 And a jerking crack opened the the brittle bone of latent hatred

And smothered by this new and incandescent body it frothed in agony

And the aeon was exposed as gesticulating and unnecessary shadows

Exposed as hollowness, Supremacy was an illusion of carpetbaggers

And unmasked the visions fled

And scattered like greasy rats throughout heavens language of paradise

And leaving the ghosts in the machine only a helpless landscape of eyes

Then having taken shape the one did sweep the rug clean

And the rushing waters did purr like fire

And the sound of a diamond star did ring forever like a gong

And the epoch closed with the white dwarf singing his song
