Mercy In The Mix

Humanitas
under every darkness
engulfed
though where
by lone eye
light is sought

all may follow /

Babes open orbs
in Saucerian labs.

On Time At The 
Third Dimension Tavern
For Alain Resnais, Bill Murphy, Friedrich Nietzsche, 
P.D.Ouspensky, Vincent Zepp

Unless a sorcerer's sigil motes
Things will be just as they wrote
The last time we circled this route
Which takes as long as it took
To get around to it
Way back far.

When, as we say, in dank bar
The dark shot
Backward is thrown
And down wipes yon keeper's
Practiced paw

What names the place
And in their guises
Its denizens do
Dreams clockwork constant
Round upon round.

Weave back through dark to the portal.

A gavel's deeps strike a judgment sound:
"There is no, "'NEVER AGAIN!'"

Death
arrives later rather than sooner
if in its throes
or if sooner then it's too soon.
