Hours separate two
An ocean flows between
Astralplanes of space and time
Asphodels grow thick
On Carpets of Spring soft grass
Telephone wires wrapped in glass
Mute and cut voices drawn together
Paper travels cheaper than bodies
Every point of an ounce costs
The value of a word jumps like
Closing cost on gold at the end
Commodities traded, stamped, and sealed
Air mail, surface, fragile, this side up!
My emotions are handled by the disgruntled
Blue polyester wearing employees of government
What do they know of metaphysics and higher planes?
Union is completed when on foreign turf
After having trod, trod for generations
Chalk white, slightly wrinkled, canceled
Envelope frees the body of soul
Like Jerhico the walls of time crumble
Throat torn, heart ripped out
The pulse of my words
Beats in the reader’s mind
Making the dissolution of reality
Reaffirming the chaos of one.
