A Flash of Light Dancers

They sliced though the populous night

As whirly and dervish

As the end of time itself

Flinging their child's fancies

Through endless poorly patched rips

In the curtains of man's mind

Sliced to the core of sight



They burnt unbuildable bridges

Woven of bear-dream

And dragon-fang-faces-east

Herbal inevitability and danced

On their burning impossibles until

Falling to invincible reality firm under foot

They fell into light



The faded the fine timeline

Of the one true dream

Shattering bodies of rust and makebelieve

Weathervanes in tidal cascading freedom

Ghosts of solidity

And true knowledge triumphant



They flew away from thought

Of memories

Of any of the populous night

As whirly and dervish

As the end of time itself

Giving knives to the night

Dancing steel time broken and bent
