EPIPHANY

Scaling the ladder of notes
he hopes that the salvation
of creation that wraps me in coats
will find in my oblique mind
a familiar fervor singing like a chime.
Echoes and reverberations
from golden bells toasting salutations
of a widowed piano
serenading me with permutations
of cathedralic arches and incantations.
No!  of inoculations against algaed puddles,
minds muddled with schedules instead of
sowing one�s oats in fertile fields:
golden poem-stalks revealed to be
the bread and butter
that silver tongues tend to utter
carefully and rarefully honey drips
from my lips like a yellow pear
succulent and sweet is this fruit�s meat
a treat to my palette and ear
to hear sweet upper register tones
and baritone moaning and lament.
See this breathing sound sent
and soaring, orbiting round my head
as Olympus is brought to us
through speakers and digital boxes
that rocks his lungs
evicting oxygen brung, in favor of
a tenant of a richer bent.
