Memories from Neverland

In the bottom of the world, where the eye can’t trace,

There is a world. Far from worlds of all kinds, there’s a maze.

It’s slopped down and valleyed to the edge of the earth. From earth it rises

and flashes like an army of ants. Mutinying army ants in hermit clothes praises.

 

Little huts made of clay. Ants clay-model rants they philosophize the earth. Planet of hearth.

mutineers of hard work, far from working life and politics. Licks the Saturdays to Sunday dirge.

 

Your sorrow will be gone morrow,

Your silence will be force of horror.

 

We will help you seek your justice.

All you need to do is now is close your eyes and wait for precipice.

It will bear the name of your Victor. Traitors and victory echoless.

 

You can rise again, stitch the rashes for Phoenix,

Fluttering to the dewy meadow of blue above. Rise above the sky this time.

Close your eyes and fly this time. Never another time to rise, close and soar but this time.
