Through a hidden socket on the wall A curled up parchment, timeless scroll Heaven grinds wagons, wailing wings Bumbling euphorias, doubter’s tambourines
Revelation mounts the Keeper of the Tower of Song Muttered drones paint septuageneric fauna Winking as if twenty bodies strong Soot eyes smile, widen Till tears fill his feathered pen
Revelations mount deeper The Keeper of the Tower of Song
To smile in irony’s chords With Dead Sea tentacles Leading the chorus dandelions In a pop country Pentecostal scream To usher in recantations or murmuring retreats
Revelations all mount The Keeper of the Tower of Song
