Trout-skinned clouds 
make a horizon of burning pink,
a rainbow serpent 
who encircles the visible west.

My inviolate vision
in a life without parole
gathering its last flower.

Ashes and dust, a dead oak,
an abandoned fire pit:
walk into invisibility
where night plays catch
with the laughing dead. 






v. 3
A cascade of syllables rolls
down the sacred mountain.
Yogis yawn and grin.

Trout-skinned clouds 
make a horizon of burning pink,
a rainbow serpent 
who encircles the visible west.

These are my fellows,
my inviolate visions
in a life without parole
gathering its final flowers.

Ashes and dust, a dead oak,
an abandoned fire pit:
walk into invisibility
where night plays catch
with the laughing dead. 





v. 2
It’s not simple, it’s interrupted.

A cascade of syllables
down the sacred mountains.
Yogis yawn and grin.

Trout-skinned clouds strung out
a horizon of burning pink
a rainbow serpent 
encircling the visible west.
These are my fellows,
my inviolate senses
a life without parole
gathering its final flowers.

Where’s the signal?
Ashes and dust, a dead oak,
an abandoned fire pit.
Walk into invisibility
where night plays catch
with the laughing dead. 







v. 1
It’s not simple, it’s interrupted.

A cascade of syllables

an eruption of babes

down the sacred mountains.

Yogis yawn and grin.

Dragons drag shining bellies

across turquoise sands,

rivers dance in the sky

around mandalas of stars.



Where’s the signal?

Ashes and dust, a dead oak,

an abandoned fire pit.

The sun floods the day

drowns the innocent 

in waves of transcendence.

Walk into invisibility

where night plays catch

with the laughing dead. 



Let the evening fun commence:

trout-skinned clouds strung out

a horizon of burning pink,

a rainbow serpent 

encircling the visible west.

These are my fellows,

my inviolate senses

a life without parole

gathering its final flowers.
Very cool new version Tim, and a BIG improvement.  I really did like the previous title though- "Midnight at Radio Ranch" had a surreal vibe to it, and would work well with this version.
