Universal Mind

Eclipse
We walked along the path of moonlight
Beyond the artificially lit streets
The waves from the sea washed towards us
On one side, silver-tipped and midnight cool
Into the darker side of the bush-clad landscape
Across the river’s bridge, past pumice floating
To black hills highlighted by the lunar sheen
The stars stood clear and individual as they shone
Moving slowly the shadow began to engulf
The moon, whose light flooded the sky
Like the back of a hand over a face
- then she is gone . . .
The familiar night orb left
Only a black orange hole in the sky -
Struggling to understand the no-reason why
Something is missing and resolved . . .

Ellipse
Regular oval, traced by a point
And lifting it to your lips
Drink hungrily from the green bottle
The amber liquid that opens the doors of deception
Moving is a plane so that the sum of its distances
Crashes nearer to the earth
Than to the sun, the daddyless son
Will crash, no matter who your father was
From two other points is constant
Male and female (by common concord)
Your left-wing is on fire
From a too greater infusion of brandy jet fuel
And all those right-wing ex-L.S.D. boys in Treasury
So afraid of their own past
That their illusions are complete
The side of the cone makes, Jim! (c.f. HYPERBOLA).

(The Third Way)
Regular Moonlight
lifting artificially
hungrily washed
the one
Into the
nearer past
The highlighted
Stars crash
From Shadow
female moon
face fire
she too
Left those
only afraid
struggling illusion
makes something
There is no fucking third way!
