“This is how one ought to see, how things really are.”
– Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception (1954)
listen –the whisper
of fern & thistle!
go whistle
a tune in the dark!
And the Mad Poet cried:
Taste brine & cold night shadows!
As bulging forest echoes ooze
from stars & ancient pine trees -& stillborn moonlets light a yard
of glazed & purple underbrush,
rustling, gnawing
on broken clockwork bone - - - - !
The moths have eaten all the padding
under my armour!
listen –the whisper
of fern & thistle!
