into the unbearable brilliance

of this most perfect autumn austin day
remembering two fold charisma sunlight
burning away distance /avoiding intimacy
sole burden of Goddess/her worship safer
than sustaining a relationship with that which burns
in a ferocious Light expurgating all rusted reluctance
making bare the bone wound/true the mirror
Who brings the better news,o messengers?
Who stops all wars and creates a peace?
Who allows prosperities and harmonies?We
who mediate and are medicated/resile from righteousness
delegate activism to artists,sit in empty tip jar audience
carping,quarreling while bonfire vanities conflagrate for Guy Fawkes
Parliament as tribal as town hall poetry circles
Gathering an election of trust in each other's singing
These bright days give way to night
where approximate starlight imitates daylight
yet who dare be that brilliant?To burn is only this-
those who take the risk .Be bright,bold,resolute-
you mapmakers and street singers bring
enlightenment to our tortured times.Let every voice ring!
