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
