Ghost in the Machine (edit)

[Brownlie]

Suburbia's silver nights sways low a hill-roof vine
A hole in the sky, a hole in the spirit of the climb
In daylight sink this vow will not, dot plain be me, an astronaut
Oh moon may this ghost make mist oh jungle oh moon
The spirit bleeds blue drops blending a fading dew spring
Make blisters of vacuum palms, vacant fairs, and vacant cares
Vile monsters and vile mares, make weeping waves wonder where
Nay sickly dorming, say not the theme, it is the sound of animals mourning
I do see the ground, I do see the town, I do see violets, but I hear the sound
Its haunting every time, lay this time a placid pond
Gentle air, winter stares, its calling thorns so bare
Here swims no leach lick, come crimson thorns in vice grip
Still air leave me, drown this vow will not, dot plain be me, an astronaut

Ok I assume most know this but the ghost and the machine idea comes from Descartes. I think we would refer to the idea of two substances as Cartesian Dualism. Basically Descartes held that there were two substances: one that is more akin to physical matter and a more spiritual substance. However, Descartes had trouble reconciling how spirit interacted with material. Descartes invented the idea of a penial gland to connect the two but no one has ever found a penial gland. Some would critique some of your language and perhaps call it archaic. Words like "nay" for instance. Hope this helps someone.
