Myth and Mystery - Today's Poem

Myth and Mystery

 

As day deteriorates smokelike in anesthetic mist

a smattering of Greta Garbo in the echo bog

won’t alarm the browsing cattle

 

Her lithe molecules of ennui spread illiberally

don’t put them off their feed

silver light on reflective surface air

 

She wants to be alone; the bovine tend to herd

air aims to circulate; light to penetrate

beams of chilled circumstance through trees

 

the Northern Lights have been set free above

and Druids amble, phantom beyond the pale

in whose swamp cattle and actress linger

 

if I could run a periscope up above the darkness

what impossibly reactive colors and voids

would circle and streak above the imaginary?
