The Mortal Portal
The Mortal Portal
The mortal Shadows sing
Like Dreamtime’s Didjeridoo
And Picture’s Porcelains Ming
In Sight emerge in situ
To just attract the Eyes –
Two Nerves attached to Lotus:
Look! Ears catch the Cries –
In Aragonese crazy Hota!..
So Threat-like Singing sounds
In Bottom deep Formation,
Where Oceans’ burning Ground
By Scars cut Revelations
To then expose them all
To Ears of Shadows mortal:
Two Nerves attached to Poles,
Now, listen! Catch open Portal!..
