Adams’ Hill Walkabout 

 

Dreamscapes dart into

Mosaics of marble

Triune streak on streak

 

 

Cocaine Codas

 

Cocaine waves of codas code walkabout

Fire escapes within Firestorms

Of diamond glistening utopias of the mind 

 

 

Λήθη

 

Sanguine Spiritus mundi amor faux fati Fatima 

Five fath Omniscient Oms Osiris thy

Father in Paradiso lies to us

 

Oeuvre of Isaiah Patmos revelation

Revealing Lotus Set Sethian Loki 

 

Awaiting thee sol in Lethe lake of diamond

Damnation pure pulsating numinous Eros 

 

Roses Danse singing Cathar Cantos 

Inner eternal and ephemeral Fluxus 

 

 

Where did gods and goddesses come from?

 

Are they mere mirror representations, shadows of

Ourselves, our own psychological states 

Anthropocene amplified to mythological heights?

 

 

Time

 

Is time progressive and linear or

Circumambulating Recurring and circular?

 

Why can’t time be both? History repeating 

Itself but making progress too?
